‘A well-reported and researched history of the ways in which plucky economists helped rewrite policy in America and Europe and across emerging markets.’ The Economist ‘A highly readable, exhilaratingly detailed biographical account.’ Sunday Telegraph As the post-World War II economic boom began to falter in the late 1960s, a new breed of economists gained influence and power. Over time, their ideas reshaped the modern world, curbing governments, unleashing corporations and hastening globalization. Their fundamental belief? That governments should stop trying to manage the economy. Their guiding principle? That markets would deliver steady growth and broad prosperity. But the economists’ hour failed to deliver on its premise. The single-minded embrace of markets has come at the expense of economic equality, the health of liberal democracy and of future generations. Across the world, from both right and left, the assumptions of the once-dominant school of free-market economic thought are being challenged, as we count the costs as well as the gains of its influence. In The Economists’ Hour, acclaimed New York Times writer Binyamin Appelbaum provides both a reckoning with the past and a call for a different future. ‘A reminder of the power of ideas to shape the course of history.’ New Yorker - E-bokEngelska, 2019

Als die Ökonomen die Weltbühne betraten. Binyamin Appelbaum legt eine originelle Ideengeschichte und ein unvergessliches Porträt der Wirtschafts-Wissenschaftler vor, die in der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts zum weltweiten Aufstieg des Neo-Liberalismus beigetragen haben.Sie waren die Vertreter des deregulierten Marktes: Milton Friedman mit seinen libertären Idealen, Arthur Laffer, dessen Kurve auf einer Cocktailserviette dazu beitrug, Steuersenkungen zu einem wesentlichen Bestandteil konservativer Wirtschaftspolitik zu machen, oder Thomas Schelling, der dem menschlichen Leben einen monetären Wert beimessen wollte.Ihre Grundüberzeugung? Die Regierungen sollten aufhören zu versuchen, die Wirtschaft zu steuern.Ihr Leitsatz? Die Märkte würden ein stetiges Wachstum bringen und sicherstellen, dass alle von den Vorteilen profitieren.Aber die Ökonomen konnten ihr Versprechen auf breiten Wohlstand nicht einlösen. Und der Glaube an den uneingeschränkten Markt ging auf Kosten der wirtschaftlichen Gleichheit, der Stabilität liberaler Demokratien und zukünftiger Generationen.Fesselnd erzählt Appelbaum vom Aufstieg und Fall der Ökonomen sowie ihrer Ideen und macht deutlich: Das uneingeschränkte Vertrauen in den Markt gefährdet die Zukunft der liberalen Demokratie.
