Publisher's Note
In this highly acclaimed, provocative book, Robert Kuttner disputes the laissez-faire direction of both economic theory and practice that has been gaining in prominence since the mid-1970s. Dissenting voices, Kuttner argues, have been drowned out by a stream of circular arguments and complex mathematical models that ignore real-world conditions and disregard values that can't easily be turned into commodities. With its brilliant explanation of how some sectors of the economy require a blend of market, regulation, and social outlay, and a new preface addressing the current global economic crisis, Kuttner's study will play an important role in policy-making for the twenty-first century.

In this survey of the limits of free markets, Kuttner disputes the laissez-faire direction of both economic theory and practice that has been gaining in prominence since the mid-1970s.

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)
