Bøger af Mark Hendrickson

"Should be read by every scholar, writer, activist..."--Ron Paul, former U.S. Congressman "I love [it.]" A "masterful dissection." "Fantastic!"--Dr. Arthur Laffer If you have read or even heard about Capital in the Twenty-First Century-economist Thomas Piketty's egalitarian treatise-you owe it to yourself to read Hendrickson's powerful critique. Hendrickson combines extensive knowledge, mature wisdom, common sense, and a rare ability to render complex subjects clear and easily understood. Problems with Piketty shows us the grim consequences of egalitarian policies; exposes the flaws and explodes the fallacies in Piketty's book; and presents a stirring defense of free enterprise. Far more than just a corrective to Capital's many errors, Problems with Piketty works well as a stand-alone teaching tool. Thanks to a detailed Table of Contents, its multiple lessons are easy to find. You may find yourself referring to this book for years to come. "A serious and thorough analysis..."--Fr. Robert Sirico, Acton Institute "A classic for our time."--Dr. Yuri Maltsev, Author of Requiem for Marx "Highly readable...a yeoman's job"--Walter Williams, John E. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics, George Mason University

Once viewed as a distinct era characterized by intense bigotry, nostalgia for simpler times and a revulsion against active government, the 1920s have been rediscovered by historians in recent decades as a time when Herbert Hoover and his allies worked to significantly reform economic policy. Mark Hendrickson both augments and amends this view by studying the origins and development of New Era policy expertise and knowledge. Policy-oriented social scientists in government, trade union, academic and nonprofit agencies showed how methods for achieving stable economic growth through increased productivity could both defang the dreaded business cycle and defuse the pattern of hostile class relations that Gilded Age depressions had helped to set as an American system of industrial relations.
