In a sea of incomprehensible economics books and pop theories about our economic system that don't seem to offer any real solutions, this book provides not only clear explanations but insights and a viable alternative system. This book gave me hope that another future is possible.
This is one of the few pragmatic guides for the Left in print. Not only is it pragamatic, but it does an admirable job of admitting the socialist concept of economic democracy is flawed yet likely superior to free market capitalism. The nuts and bolts of economics are addressed in the opening chapters, while evidence-based arguments discrediting neoliberal capitlism appear in the second half. The writing is succinct, but dense interconnected concepts make Schweikart's work a heavy yet worthwhile read.
