Reviving The Invisible Hand (the Case For Classical Liberalism In The Twenty-first Century)

The book is an uncompromising call for a global return to a classical liberal economic order, free of intereference from governments and internaitonal organizations. Arguing for a revival of the invisible hand of free international trade and global capital, eminent economist Deepak Lal vigorously defends the view that statist attempts to ameliorate the impact of markets threaten global economic progress and stability.
