"Is there only one 'true' way of understanding the economic universe in which we live? ... there are in face three distinct ways of describing how economies work - a liberal way, a radical way, and a conservative way - each consistent with presently available evidence and each in harmony with widely held moral views... [The author] shows us, there is nothing in 'economic science' that can logically compel us to prefer one of these world views over the other. The ultimate choice is up to us" - From the dust jacket
