What a wonderful book, as relevant, or possibly even
more relevant, now than when it was written. It completely demolishes the
neo-liberal dogma of the supposed advantages and “naturalness” of unregulated
free markets. It explains intelligently, clearly and common-sensically how
economic policy is a choice, a political choice.
And that choice should respect human rights, namely
the right to the pursuit of happiness; so economy policy should be directed to
serve people’s interests and not the other way around.
This should be a mandatory reading for anyone
interested in economics, politics and sociology. It’s always amazing and
frustrating how we haven’t learnt anything from History.
