Summary Annotation The profession of economics has a lot to answer for. Since the late 1970s, the ideas of influential economists have justified policies that have made the world more prone to economic crisis, remarkably less equal, more polluted and less secure than it might be. How did ideas and policies that have proved to be such an abject failure come to dominate the economic landscape? By critically examining the work of the most famous economists of the neoliberal period - including Alan Greenspan, Milton Friedman and Robert Lucas - Robert Chernomas and Ian Hudson demonstrate that many of those who rose to prominence did so primarily because of their defense of, and contribution to, rising corporate profits, rather than their ability to predict or explain economic events.
