Description: "Even within the world of free market economists, there are spirited disagreements. These can be theoretical, as between the Austrian and public choice schools, as well as practical, as between monetarists and supply-siders. And, of course, as always in economics, theory and practice overlap dramatically." "The essays in this volume, adapted from lectures given at Hillsdale College in February 2003, present the views of the proponents of these divergent positions."--BOOK JACKET.
