Reviews

"The editors provide a compelling collection to critically frame the clash of Political Economy which shapes modern democracies. Their selections and introductions expertly paint a picture of the contending schools to suggest how enduring these core challenges remain. By placing these writers within this great debate, the authors guide students to discover the essential questions of liberty, equality, and the proper role of the state at the core of the American economic debate."
Roberta Q. Herzberg, Utah State University Political Science

"The real service performed by Capaldi and Lloyd is to provide generous excerpts from supporters of both narratives so that the reader can determine for themselves who best makes their case. I recommend this volume highly both to the individual interested in learning about the intellectual and political history of political economy and to the professor in search of a one-volume anthology on political economy for use in a course on economic thought."
Steven D. Ealy, Senior Fellow, Liberty Fund, Inc.

Reviews for The Two Narratives of Political Economy
“Nonetheless, the book is impressive for its topical breadth … In this light, I’ll be very interested in seeing what an updated edition of this volume might look like in another decade or two.  (Conversations  on Philanthropy, 2012)
