Herschel Hardin's look behind the ideological screen of free enterprise may well be his best book yet.
One of the most important books of our time.

Herschel Hardin doesn't want to simply rock the boat. He wants to turn the boat around.

Extravagances in the private sector that make anything that happens in the public sector pale by comparison....a readable, essential and dismaying look into the dirty laundry-basket of the private sector.
