Requests:  0 Summary:  "Economism: an ideology that distorts the valid principles and tools of introductory college economics, propagated by self-styled experts, zealous lobbyists, clueless politicians, and ignorant pundits. In order to illuminate the fallacies of economism, James Kwak offers a bracing primer on supply and demand, market equilibrium, and social welfare and a historical account of how economism became a prevalent mode of thought in the United States--focusing on the people who packaged Econ 101 into sound bites that were then repeated until they took on the aura of truth. The issues of the moment in contemporary American society--labor markets, taxes, finance, health care, and international trade, among others--are shaped by economism, and because of its failure to reflect the complexities of our world, its deleterious influence on policies has and will continue to affect hundreds of millions of Americans." --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Pahala P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 330 Kw Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 330 Kw Checked In Add Copy to MyList
