Book Review: Great Transformations: Economic Ideas and Institutional Change in the Twentieth Century
by Mark Blyth
An excellent history lesson on how New Deal values began to be eroded, a process that accelerated in the 1970s. Documents how public acquiescence to supply side economics was no accident, but instead was the result of deliberate well funded efforts to shift public opinion toward monetary interest groups. This established the (false) presuppositions that undergird much of the public discussion about socioeconomic topics today.
