Title: Rolling Back the Market
Description: "Governments are busy liberating and encouraging market forces, trying to roll back the functions and expenditure of the state. Underpinning such reform programs is a range of economic dogmas stressing the necessity of continuous economic growth, liberalization of trade and capital flows, and the reduction of social welfare and marketization of collective service provision in the name of economic efficiency.".

"Rolling Back the Market provides a comprehensive critique of these and similar dogmas, exposing their very weak basis in economic theory and their perverse effect upon human welfare and public services.".

"Peter Self's book offers a refreshingly broad and lucid account of the many impacts of modern capitalist markets, at global, national, and local levels, and is a bold attempt to show how a line can and should be drawn to restrict their imperialist tendencies and to make them more equitable and accountable."--BOOK JACKET.
