The Economists' Hour

False Prophets, Free Markets, and the Fracture of Society

Binyamin Appelbaum

Discover the revolution that transformed the way governments, businesses, and everyday life operate. The Economists' Hour showcases how free market economists reshaped taxation, public spending, and regulation from 1969 to 2008. The United States was at the forefront of the movement, but it had a global impact, influencing countries like the United Kingdom, Chile, and New Zealand. However, this biography is also a reckoning, as the promised prosperity failed to materialize, and the cost of the failure has been steep. Find out how the focus on efficiency came at the expense of education, infrastructure, and the environment.
