This book is an engaging investigation of the received wisdom - and received prejudices - about capitalism, neoliberalism, markets, and market activity. With subtlety and nuance, it shows that much of this received wisdom does not stand up to investigation. People of all ideological stripes will learn something from - and be challenged by - this book. It deserves to be read by all those working on the moral foundations of market society. Jason Brennan, Georgetown University, Washington If you're an anti-neoliberal or an anti-capitalist or a Marxist, you owe it to yourself to read this book and grapple with its evidence and reasoning. Lane Kenworthy, author of Social Democratic Capitalism and Would Democratic Socialism Be Better?
