Featured Book:
New! The Power of Economic Thinking
by Mark Skousen
Foundation for Economic Education, 2002, 334 pages

"The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else." - John Maynard Keynes

When Keynes wrote these famous worlds in 1936, he never realized how far the new frontiers of economics would reach. He had no idea that today economists would be accurately predicting the outcome of national elections, telling investors to reduce their risk and maximize their returns through stock index funds, showing legislators how they could reduce crime by offering concealed weapon permits, or cleaning up the environment by auctioning off pollution permits.

In his provocative new book, Mark Skousen contends that economics is no longer the "dismal" science. It is now the "imperial" science, invading like an army the new frontiers of crime, politics, religion, Wall Street, subjecting new economic analysis to gun rights, racial dscrimination, drug abuse, professional sports, health care, grade-school education, and environmentalism.
