In this follow up to From a Market Economy to a Finance Economy, Samli reflects on his more than half a century of economic experience and research, maintaining that financiers, the government and many decision makers in both politics and the economy, do not really the 'free market.
"Samli questions a basic tenet of economic philosophy, namely, that market forces left unfettered would lead to an optimal allocation of resources. Whether one supports this view or not, I expect the reader will emerge intellectually richer after immersion in Samli's latest introspective treatise." - Ajay Samant, Professor of Finance, University of North Florida, USA
"Dynamic Markets and Conventional Ignorance is a fascinating and somewhat unconventional look at what has happened in the U.S. and world economies since my first encounter with Samli in 1970. Reading this new look at previous and new approaches to economic public policy will be provocative and worthwhile. I highly recommend his sometimes unconventional, sometimes argumentative suggestions for public policy changes be given serious consideration." - James E. Littlefield, Professor Emeritus of Marketing, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA
"I like Samli's apt remark that such conventional wisdom gave way to conventional ignorance and common sense is no longer common! Sad, but true!" - Adel I. El-Ansary, Donna L. Harper Professor of Marketing, University of North Florida, USA
