Hard Heads, Soft Hearts: Tough-minded Economics For A Just Society

Front Cover
Basic Books, Jan 22, 1988 - Business & Economics - 256 pages
A hard-headed liberal economist, Alan Blinder clearly shows how economic policy is made in America and how good policies often make bad politics. He discusses liberal-conservative divisiveness and shows how it often prevents sound economic advice from being heeded. Blinder offers his own nonpartisan vision for the future of our economic society and challenges law-makers—Democrats and Republicans—to do better.
