Publisher's Note
Robert Kuttner's quarrel, in this provocative and illuminating book, is not with capitalism per se or with a broad role for market forces: "Consumption is doubtless pleasurable", he writes, "and no one minds a high material standard of living". His dispute is rather with the current libertarian or laissez-faire direction of both economic practice and economic theory that has been gradually gaining in prominence since the mid-197Os. Champions of this approach extol the unfettered marketplace and trust in its ability to increase wealth, promote innovation, and "optimize outcomes" - and to regulate itself flawlessly all the while. In Everything for Sale, Kuttner makes a powerful case for the mixed economy, in which government steps in to override markets for a variety of reasons: to stabilize monetary forces, to promote growth, to temper inequalities, to cultivate civic virtues. It is the system that, Kuttner contends, holds the greatest hope for a flourishing twenty-first century. His concrete observations and clear analyses, purged of jargon, address themselves to every layperson, businessperson, policy-maker, and open-minded economist in America.

Industry Reviews
"The best survey of the limits of free markets that we have....A much needed plea for pragmatism...."
Los Angeles Times - Jeffrey Madrick

"A contrarian argument by a well-armed economics journalist who longs to demolish the view that government can do nothing right and markets nothing wrong."
Wilford

"Kuttner delivers a powerful empirical broadside. One by one he lays on cases where governments have outdone markets, or at least performed well."
Whitney

"An exhaustive but tendentious critique of market economics from the liberal commentator who first addressed this issue in 'The End of Laissez-Faire' (1991)."
Kirkus (12/01/1996)
