Hard Heads, Soft Hearts: Tough-Minded Economics for a Just Society - Paperback

by Alan S. Blinder (Author)

A hard-headed liberal economist, Alan Blinder clearly shows how economic policy is made in America and how good policies often make bad politics. He discusses liberal-conservative divisiveness and shows how it often prevents sound economic advice from being heeded. Blinder offers his own nonpartisan vision for the future of our economic society and challenges law-makers--Democrats and Republicans--to do better.
