What is Liberal Economics and Democracy: Keynes, Galbraith, Thurow, and Reich (American Political Thought (University Press of Kansas)) about?

<p>assailed By Conservative Critics In Congress, Academia, And Television Talk Shows, Liberal Economics May Be In A Fight For Its Political Life. Conrad Waligorski Contends, However, That Rumors Of Its Death Are Premature And Far From Desirable. His Close Analysis Of The Political Theories Of John Maynard Keynes, John Kenneth Galbraith, Lester Thurow, And Robert Reich Reveals Why Liberal Economics Remains A Vigorous Force In The Debates Over Our Nation's Future.<p>waligorski Argues That, Despite Individual Differences, These Economists Are Bound Together By A Common Vision Of The Public Good. Collectively, These Thinkers Represent A Strong Counter Tradition To The <i>laissez-faire,</i> Free-market Philosophy Of James Buchanan, Milton Friedman, F. A. Hayek, Newt Gingrich, And Other Proponents Of Minimalist Government And Trickle-down Economics.<p> Contrary To Such Critics, Liberal Economists Advocate Government Regulation As A Guard Against The Power Of The Marketplace To Erode Our Most Cherished Political Values And Social Institutions. For These Economists, A Completely Free Market Is Definitely Not The Best Market For Democracy; An Unrestrained Market Guarantees Neither Fairness
