Reviews

""Deftly blends theoretical and practical concerns while elaborating, synthesizing, and criticizing the principles that inspire contemporary partisans of laissez-faire.""--Review of Politics ""There can be no doubt that this is a very good book, comprehensive in its thematic coverage and incisive in its critique.""--Ethics ""Even those who resist the book's conclusions will find this an intelligent analysis of the connection between how we think about political economy and the way that thinking governs our political aspirations.""--Journal of Politics ""Neither a celebration of nor a polemic against conservative economists, Waligorski's study is sensible, perceptive, deep, and judicious. It should appeal to a wide range of economists and other social scientists interested in political and policy issues.""--Warren J. Samuels, author of Institutional Economics ""An effectively organized and well written work of synthesis. . . . The chapter on freedom is especially good.""--Douglas Rae, author of Equalities ""A work of consistent intellectual integrity.""--Daniel M. Hausman, editor of The Philosophy of Economics
