One of the greatest challenges faced by
liberal democracies is how to best regulate the interface between
market choice and government behavior. In Free Markets under Siege,
Richard Epstein draws on his extensive knowledge of history, law, and
economics to examine this critical issue and in the process explains
how to find an effective middle way between socialism and
libertarianism.
With clarity, force, and wit, Epstein provides an
illuminating analysis of some of the ways that special interest groups,
with the help of sympathetic politicians, have been able to manipulate
free markets in their favor. Focusing on two areas where government
intervention has been persistent in both the United State and Western
Europe—agriculture and the labor market—he makes a strong case for free
trade as a way to mitigate, and perhaps eliminate altogether, the
harmful effects of protecting various groups through domestic policies.
