Today, more than ever, the world cries out for a clear exposition of free-market capitalism and its critics. There's no better source than Dr. Mark Skousen’s “The Making of Modern Economics," a bold new history of the great economic thinkers, published now by Routledge and updated for 2016. Highlights include: Does capitalism encourage or moderate greed? The surprising answer of Adam Smith, the father of free market capitalism. How Keynes saved capitalism--from Marxism! A devastating critique of Karl Marx’s theories of capitalism, labor, imperialism and exploitation, and why most of his predictions have utterly failed. (This chapter alone has converted many Marxists into free-market advocates.) Two chapters on Keynes and Keynesian economics, what one economist has called “the most devastating critique of Keynesian economics ever written.” Highly relevant today. Over 100 illustrations, portraits, and photographs. Five chapters on the Austrian and Chicago schools of free-market economics. For chapter titles and author bio, go to www.mskousen.com
