“Kling and Schulz present a new line of economic reasoning—“Economics 2.0”—that focuses on innovation, rather than government intervention, to solve market failures. This book is particularly timely given the current financial crisis. Kling and Schulz demonstrate why a costly, government-driven recovery attempt is unlikely to lead to sustainable growth and may even lead to greater losses in the future. By offering concise, easily understandable chapters that are supplemented with interviews with well-respected economists, Kling and Schulz provide a text that is comprehensive without being burdensome. From Poverty to Prosperity makes a persuasive argument for limited government intervention in the free market, and empowering the individual.”
Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, author of Real Change
A fascinating blend of interviews and perspectives on where economics –and the economy—is heading. A must read for anyone who thinks economists are out of touch with today’s reality or don’t have competing compelling visions for the future.
Simon Johnson, Ronald Kurtz Professor of Entrepreneurship at MIT’s Sloan School of Management, former chief economist at the IMF
