It takes on the illusions and delusions which regularly shape economic policy.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAbsolutely no knowledge of economics is needed; only common sense and an open mind. It explains how bad economics is ruining Western societies, while good economics has been pushed aside. Its aim, by exposing the bad, is to contribute to the revival of the good.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTwo paths are still open: one informed by good economics, leading to hope; one by bad economics, leading to despair. The story isn't finished; the trends are unpromising. At the same time, the salutary experience Western societies are having in dealing with crippling government debt is keeping hope alive.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n CONTENTS\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPROLOGUEPREFACE1.
