Rolling back the market Book

Offering a comprehensive critique of ruling economic beliefs about politics and society, this book shows the weak basis of these beliefs in both economic and political thought, and their perverse effects upon human welfare and public services. It ends with a discussion of alternative visions and their realisation through a revival of democratic political choice. Written by a distinguished scholar, the book is a 'must' for students and all others interested in political economy, social policy and public administration.
