Review: Race, liberalism, and economics

Choose any two of these three topics: race, liberalism, and economics. Now trace the connections between the two that you have chosen over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, incorporating both fundamental philosophical concepts and policy implications. Doing this could easily produce a large, multivolume study. This book attempts to take on all three of these topics in this very ambitious way. The book succeeds in being surprising, enlightening, and provocative, though it suffers from some minor shortcomings typical of collective volumes of this type.
