Toward a Truly Free Market: A Distributist Perspective on the Role of Government, Taxes, Health Care, Deficits and More
Author: John C. Medaille
Edition: First
Publisher: ISI Books
Pages: 288
Price: £15.95
ISBN: 97816101707
Free-market leaders' attempts to reverse Keynesian economic policies have produced only greater debt and more centralised economic power. John Medaille contends that a truly free-market system can be achieved only when we stop pretending that economics is a physical science; he maintains that it must be viewed as a humane science, taking into account crucial social contexts. He argues, on economic rather than moral terms, that attempts to divorce economic equilibrium from economic equity will lead to an unbalanced economy, and he makes a case for the economic theory known as distributism.

Billed by the publisher as the first serious attempt to explain the basics of econometrics and its applications as simply as possible, this text is written in recognition of the fact that a good standard of mathematical knowledge is no longer a necessary prerequisite for economics/financial economics undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. It thus aims to introduce this key subdivision of economics to an audience who might otherwise have been deterred by its complex nature.
