- catalog abstract ""The book explores the key principles of free-market economics and discusses their rhetorical underpinnings. In showing how these ideas have permeated policy decisions around such contemporary issues as the minimum wage, the farm crisis, and the role of unions, Aune draws out the ways that seemingly objective arguments and terminology have been used to advance ideological ends. He provides lively, critical readings of leading free-market intellectuals, including Ayn Rand, Robert Nozick, Murray Rothbard, and Charles Murray." "Ably refuting both the language and the logic of the market revolution, this book will be read with interest by anyone wishing to dig beneath the surface of contemporary economic jargon."--Jacket.".
