Whether fiscal policy conversion is seen as a good or a bad thing, this book shall unite both left and right in better explaining the process. Students and academics of international political economy, public policy and politics will find this book to be a good addition to their reading lists.

Ideas drove the convergence of American and British and conservative and New Left approaches to a restrained fiscal policy in the era of neo-liberalism. Ravi Roy's and Arthur Denzau's compelling, elegant, and concise argument makes us think about the likely course of divergence in policy approaches in an era of unrestrained fiscal policy and counter-terrorist warfare. This book speaks to core concerns of specialists, and will be a source of intellectual pleasure for interested general reader. Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter Professor, Jr. of International Studies, Cornell University. <br>
