Hard Heads, Soft Hearts Tough-minded Economics For A Just Society [Paperback]

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.

Alan S. Blinderis the Gordon S. Rentschler Memorial Professor of Economics at Princeton University and a regular columnist forBusiness Week.
