Customer Review:
Excellent book. If you want to understand the current economic downturn, this is the book to read. Lrugman is a teacher when he writes and abstruse economics is a stranger to his pages. | 4.0 / 5.0

from Berrett-Koehler Publishers
Price: $17.13
Customer Review:
It is not John Perkins' goal to describe his participation in some US governmental conspiracy. Rather Perkins tremendously gives the reader insightful information in something he calls "corporatocracy." Corporatocracy is made up of banks, corporations, and governments that each play a part in... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
Collier loves his research. He also loves the research of people who have studied under him. Finally, he loves the research of people he works with.
While I have no doubt that his research has produced some fruitful insights into poverty, I don't think his book is the amazing must-read... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
This edition of Hayek's classic work, "The Road to Serfdom," is edited by my former UNC-Greensboro colleague, Dr. Bruce Caldwell. Bruce's introduction to Hayek's work (more than 30 pages long) is worth the price of the book. Nobody knows Hayek's work better than Bruce Caldwell. "The Road to Serfdom"... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

This is a wonderful and timeless book that I recommend to any person interested in politics, economics, finance, ethics or current events.

from Free Press
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
Galbraith explains how conservatives have PREACHED "free markets" and "no government intervention" but at least since Reagan they have PRACTICED the opposite.
Reagan quickly found that (a) his theology of free-markets didn't work, and (b) the government was a giant ATM for his cronies.
