Oxford University Press has recently published New School Professor David Howell’s book, “Fighting Unemployment: The Limits of Free Market Orthodoxy.”
Edited by Howell, the book, which can be found here, “critically assesses […] free market orthodoxy” by using “cross-country statistical analyses and country case studies” through “leading economists from seven North American and European countries” who “contend that this conventional wisdom has greatly exaggerated the extent to which the unemployment problem can be blamed on protective labor market institutions and that the case for dismantling the welfare state to fight unemployment rests more on free market ideology than on the empirical evidence.”
