Reviews

"An economist and historian of considerable distinction." - New York Times Book Review "A highly regarded public figure [and] a world-famous conservative economist." - Publishers Weekly "A top-notch neo-classical economist.... Iconoclastic and polymathic." - Chronicle of Higher Education "[McCloskey is] in the rare position of being a free-market enthusiast... admired by many left-leaning English professors." - Reason"
