economics blogging...

If you haven't already read The Conservative Nanny State by Dean Baker you probably should.
In his new book, economist Dean Baker debunks the myth that conservatives favor the market over government intervention. In fact, conservatives rely on a range of “nanny state” policies that ensure the rich get richer while leaving most Americans worse off. It’s time for the rules to change. Sound economic policy should harness the market in ways that produce desirable social outcomes – decent wages, good jobs and affordable health care.

Its creative commons so you can download the whole book for free...

I might try to do a chap. by chap analysis one of these days... I have a long list of one of these days... I doubt I shall get to all of them before i'm dead... sigh...

If Dean asks.. tell him Jim Nichols sent you.
