Regardless of whether one identifies as a liberal political economist, this book offers an intellectual treat. This book is a remarkable contribution to liberal discourse. Though I do not agree with every aspect of the book it stands as one of the most exciting and transformative books I have read in many years… It offers a unique and challenging perspective on both the practices of social science and the nature and possibilities of liberalism. No small feat.
