Governomics: Can We Afford Small Government?

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Unpacks the economic role of government for people who are fed up with dumbed-down debates on important public issues. Appealing to readers of books such as Zombie Economics or How to Argue with an Economist, Governomics will explain how governments should - and shouldn't - intervene in the economy, in terms that anyone can understand.
