Market Economy: A Reader brings together a comprehensive collection
of primary source readings featuring seminal writings by both the great
classic liberals and contemporary proponents of the market economy. The
anthology is edited by James Doti (Chapman College) and Dwight Lee (Holder
of the Ramsey Clark Chair of Private Enterprise at the University of Georgia).
The book benefitted from the editorial input of such distinguished scholars
as William R. Allen (University of California, Los Angeles) and Fred R. Glahe
(University of Colorado, Boulder).
The Market Economy: A Reader features classic readings such as Adam Smith's invisible hand and pin factory from his Wealth of Nations, David Ricardo's original explanation of comparative advantage from Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, John Stuart Mill's eloquent expression of the limits of government in On Liberty, and Ronald Coase's insightful explanations of the implications of externalities on resource allocation in "The Problem of Social Costs."
