A Perilous Progress: Economists and Public Purpose in Twentieth-Century America
Michael Alan Bernstein
Examines how a community of experts identified with uncritical celebration of "free market" virtues was itself shaped, dramatically so, by government and collective action. This book describes economists' fitful efforts to sway a state apparatus where values and goals could seldom remain separate from means and technique.
