The Economist’s Hour: False Prophets, Free Markets, and the Fracture of Society

byBinyamin Appelbaum

The Economist’s Hour is Binyamin Appelbaum's historical account of false Prophets, Free Markets, and the Fracture of Society. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of business & economics and history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The Economist’s Hour leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
