By John B. Taylor and George P. Shultz

Book Overview

Learn from economic history's successes and failures to inform today's policy decisions. George P. Shultz and John B. Taylor draw from decades of experience to show how letting the market work on its own, without government intervention, is a recipe for success. Choose Economic Freedom reconstructs debates from the 1960s and 1970s about wage and price controls, revealing how brilliant economists can hold diametrically opposed views.
