This is a book of invited essays on topics in economic history that have a direct relevance to present policy debates. Topics include banking regulation, immigration, Third-World development policies, etc. Each essay explores the role of government policies in the outcome of events. All essays are written in non-technical terms and are easily accessible to general readers.
The caliber of the reasoning and the presentation of the historical evidence will place this book at the center of economic policy debates. It will be read by those who agree with the argument and, more important, by those who expect to disagree with it. * Stanley R. Engerman, University of Rochester; coauthor of Time on the Cross *
