Review
“Ronald Reagan told us that “government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem”. This statement helped convince an entire generation that government does little more than hinder economic growth and the well-being of society. Professor Martinez - via lucid writing and a wealth of historical evidence - clearly demonstrates that relying on private market players alone to protect the integrity of markets will not produce the outcomes society desires. Recent events confirm this hypothesis. Read this book and see why Ronald Reagan was wrong and how government not only organizes markets but can indeed be a solution to our problems."
