Two Books That Take an Alternative Look At Economics
We've just released Mark Martinez's The Myth of the Free Market, a critical and timely look at the role that government has to play in our economy. Ha-Joon Chang, author of Bad Samaritans, calls it "fascinating". Also on the way is Freedom From Want by Ian Smillie, a long-overdue look at one of the most dynamic and successful NGOs in the world, BRAC.
The World Bank and the Gods of Lending
Steve Berkman, author of The World Bank and the Gods of Lending was interviewed recently on radio stations around the country. Listen to his interview with 1040 WHO, Blog Talk Radio and on YouTube. The book was also reviewed in the April 28th issue of Publishers Weekly: "The book is a fascinating firsthand account of the bank’s failures, and its case studies that make for a valuable and important read."
