Americans across the political spectrum have turned away from free market capitalism, calling for more government intervention into the economy. This optimistic book explains how a dynamic, Commercial Republic that benefits all Americans is still possible.
"Will someone intent on changing the direction of America's economy seize on this text and send it far and wide?""Read this powerful argument from Samuel Gregg as to why faith in the American Experiment in liberty under law requires us to reject economic nationalist trends toward protectionism, the use of industrial policy, and other interventions in the pursuit of transient and populist agendas. Markets grounded in a commercial republic are what America needs. Gregg shows why."
