The worldwide spread of neoliberalism has transformed economies, polities, and societies everywhere. In conventional accounts, American and Western European economists, such as Milton Friedman and Friedrich von Hayek, sold neoliberalism by popularizing their free-market ideas and radical criticisms of the state. Rather than focusing on the agency of a few prominent, conservative economists, Markets in the Name of Socialism reveals a dialogue among...

The federal government has radically expanded its power - through bailouts, "stimulus" packages, a trillion-dollar health-care plan, "jobs bills," massive expansions of the money supply, and much more.

It's hard to imagine even a small room filled with politicians who know how and are determined to do right by their country and planet Earth. Informed and visionary leaders, I'm guessing, can be far more easily found in universities,...
