About this title

Review

"This is a book about values. . . . Mr. Hutton is right that policymakers should make normative judgments (essentially, moral judgments) about economic policy that transcend mere analyses."

Hutton's writing is very insightful. -- David Moisl

Hutton's writing is very insightful. --David Moisl"

American neoconservatism, [Hutton] repeatedly warns throughout this thoughtful survey of U.S.-European relations...is a dangerous force, not only for the larger world but also for the US....destroying the once great promise of social mobility and equal opportunity.

[Hutton is] eloquent and quickly gets to the point: that America has to give up its hyper-individualistic creed in favor of the recognition that people within nations are interdependent.

This is a book about values...Hutton is right that policymakers should make normative judgments (essentially, moral judgments) about economic policy that transcend mere analyses.

Anyone who harbors misgivings about the current course of America would do well to read Hutton's new book.--John Judis

The clearest, most competent and most diversely interesting economic comment in the language.--John Kenneth Galbraith

Hutton plausibly calls for both sides to cooperate and learn from each other.--John T Landry
