The economists' hour : how the false prophets of free markets fractured our society
The Economists' Hour: How the False Prophets of Free Markets Fractured Our Society is a book that critiques the rise of economists' influence on policymaking and society since the 1960s. The book argues that the single-minded embrace of free markets has led to economic inequality, the erosion of liberal democracy, and harm to future generations. It highlights how economists, such as Milton Friedman, have promoted policies that prioritize efficiency over equality and market mechanisms over non-market ones. The book also explores how economists have set a dollar value on human life and have devised cost-benefit tests to ensure that regulations are warranted. Overall, the book presents a critical perspective on the role of economists in shaping public policy and society.
