From Wikipedia: "Leonard Silk (1918 1995) was an American economist, author, and journalist. Silk's diverse areas of interest included global economics, unemployment, banking, and inflation, among others. Silk wrote for Business Week between 1954-1969. He wrote for The New York Times between 1970 1993, first writing editorials, then beginning in 1976, his own column. Silk was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1918, and died in Montclair, New Jersey in 1995." Excerpt from New York Times obituary: "Mr. Silk was a rarity in journalism: a reporter with a Ph.D. in economics, who taught the subject at a college level and worked in government before becoming a full-time journalist. He started at Business Week in 1954 and moved to The Times in 1970. Departing from the dense coverage of markets and statistics that characterized economic reporting in the 1950's, he found ways to describe, in simple prose, the economic forces shaping his readers' lives." From Wikipedia: "Mark Silk is a professor of religion in public life at Trinity College (Hartford, Connecticut), where he directs the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life and serves as editor of Religion in the News. He was born in Cambridge, Mass. in 1950 and graduated from Harvard College in 1972. In 1982 he earned a Ph.D. in medieval history from Harvard. He was editor of the Boston Review from 1985 to 1986, and worked as a reporter, editorial writer, and columnist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Silk is the author of Spiritual Politics: Religion and America Since World War II and Unsecular Media: Making News of Religion in America and co-editor of Religion by Region, an eight-volume series on religion and public life in the United States, With Andrew Walsh he wrote the series summary volume, One Nation Divisible: How Regional Religious Differences Shape American Politics, published in hardcover in 2008 and in an undated paperback edition in 2011. In the 1980s and 1990s Silk was a regular contributor to the New York Times, contributing essays and book reviews on feminist theology, new religious movements, Jewish identity, and other religion-related topics. In 1984 he traced the use of "Judeo-Christian" in American culture. In 1995 he argued that the American news media approach religion with certain Western religious preconceptions that do not always do justice to the varieties of religious belief and behavior. In 2005, he traced the history of the idea of civil religion through changing views of the figure of Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome. Since 2007 Silk has blogged about religion in public life at Spiritual Politics." Very good in good dust jacket. Price clipped. DJ has some wear and soiling.

Hardback. Condition: New. In 1995, Republicans came to power in the United States with an ambitious program proposing to embrace a degree of laissez- faire economics unknown for generations anywhere in the industrialized world. Simultaneously, politicians, entrepreneurs, and economists championed the new bastions of unregulated capitalism that sprung up in such unfamiliar precincts as Beijing and Moscow. Yet to date many free-market economic policies, be it in Prague or here in America, have not lived up to their initial promises. In fact, it has become a common joke in Russia that capitalism has succeeded in making communism look good, a feat unaccomplished by the Kremlin in its 70 year reign. In Making Capitalism Work, Leonard and Mark Silk analyze the failures and successes of capitalism as seen most recently in the former Soviet Bloc, Japan, China, the European Community and the United States. While recognizing that capitalism has been successful in a number of countries, the authors point out that overly simplistic policies advocating an unfettered capitalism ignore too large a range of issues central to the formation of any moral economic system. Viewing capitalism as simply one of a number of economic systems, Leonard and Mark Silk address such issues as the obligation of the rich to the poor, the responsibility of the state to insulate its citizens from market fluctuations, the responsibility of present generations to provide for future ones, and whether economic systems can set the proper extent and limits of individual rights and freedoms. An important, concise, thought-provoking book this is the last book Leonard Silk wrote before his death late last year and has been completed here by his son, Mark.
