In
Free Markets under Siege: Cartels, Politics, and Social Welfare
(Hoover Institution Press, 2005) with clarity, force, and wit, Epstein
shows
How the truly
great social catastrophes come from a wholesale
disrespect for individual liberty and a total
contempt for
private property
How special interest groups, with the help of sympathetic
politicians, manipulate free markets in their favor
Why losses incurred through the
operation of competitive
markets should not be compensated
Why even unilateral reform
of trade barriers would reap great
benefits for the United States
Rich in powerful
insights, Free Markets under Siege can help
us not only understand the world better but actually

every person in it better off -- or capable of being so. He currently serves as interim
