This insightful analysis of capitalism places primary emphasis on the subtitle of the book." * CHOICE * "Block's prose is sharp, unaffected, and devoid of cumbersome jargon and fastidious technicality. His informed, synthetic overviews of significant historical cases of successful economic development (e.g. nineteenth-century America) or more or less disastrous decline (e.g. 1990s Russia, and the gold standard regime) are true gems of crystal-clear and intelligent brevity.
