Reseña del libro "Building the Good Society: The Power and Limits of Markets, Democracy and Freedom in an Increasingly Polarized World (en Inglés)"

In many countries, society seems to be going off the rails. Economies are mired in widening and deepening inequality while the polity has deteriorated into a state of permanent hyper-partisan confrontation.Leading political economist Lloyd J. Dumas presents a pragmatic alternative view of a society that is capable of maximizing individual freedoms and producing sustained prosperity while preserving socially responsible behavior. In six interconnected essays, he investigates how to secure political freedom and sustainable democracy; how to achieve true equity and material abundance within the market system; how to foster individual attitudes that promote progress; how to shape international organizations and institutions for a truly global social foundation; how to sustain these foundations through democratic transitions; and how to pursue all of these goals while avoiding the most pernicious pitfalls along the way. Drawing upon real examples from around the globe, this book outlines an achievable future where ordinary, fallible human beings can overcome the most troubling limitations of democratic institutions and free market economics in order to harness their power.For its theoretical rigor and uniquely plainspoken tone, Building the Good Society is a must-read not only for political economists and policymakers, but also for anyone concerned with the most pressing political, economic, and social issues of the past ten years.
