Reviews

In this entirely original work, Professor Downing invites his readers to reconsider our existing economic policy structure in light of some basic principles regarding what the aims of such policies really ought to be. Downing's suggestions for policy reform seem quite reasonable, his arguments are persuasive, and-above all-his prescriptions seem sensible within the context of the principles he lays out at the onset. Even if the author doesn't entirely win you over on each point, he will nevertheless challenge your current mindset regarding the economic policies that govern us all. But be forewarned: Downing may very well change your mind! -- Victor V. Claar, Henderson State University
