Free Market: The History of an Idea

byJacob Soll

After two government bailouts of the US economy in less than twenty years, free market ideology is due for serious reappraisal. The argument in Free Market develops through archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the history of an idea to larger questions in business & economics and history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, Free Market preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
