Instability in the financial markets has shaken confidence in the global economic order. Mr. Shutt dispels the myth that laissez-faire capitalism has demonstrated its superiority over all economic systems and that all countries must adhere to a fully liberalized economic system. In turn, the author argues that when constant reminders are in place concerning the impact economic systems have on almost every aspect of human activity will economic issues only then receive the attention they deserve.
A Library Journal review states, "In this thoughtful treatment of the current economic scene, one feels convinced that the collapse of Western civilization as we know it is at hand". |
