ECONOMICS WITHOUT ILLUSIONS
Debunking the Myths of Modern Capitalism
Paperback
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Positing that only through economic literacy can a sober assessment of capitalism be reached, a professor of both philosophy and public policy takes down 12 "fairly abstract conceptual errors."
The errors are split down the middle into common right-wing (e.g., "capitalism is natural," "taxes are too high," "personal responsibility") and left-wing assertions ("capitalism is doomed," "the psychopathic’ pursuit of profit," "sharing the wealth"). Everyday examples, a conversational style, and a minimum of graphs and tables draw readers to an admittedly unhappy but less cloudy conclusion.
Quantities are limited.
