Culture and Prosperity by J A Kay
Culture and Prosperity examines the big questions of economic life - why some people are rich, and others poor, the power of markets to provide material goods, and their limits.
"Kay, a British economist and columnist, offers insight into American economic life in relation to other economies. He contends that rich states...are the product of literally centuries of civil society, politics, and economic institutions all evolving together. He cites the lessons learned from the common characteristics of productive economies, which include the evolutionary development of market institutions, the need for these institutions to be integral to the social and political realities of the state, and pluralism (which he defines as the role of open debate and decentralized authority instead of central planning)."-Booklist"Delightfully...solves the mystery of why markets work and why they sometimes don't."-Washington Post| SKU | Unavailable |
