Nobel Factor

{"ID":5026759,"post_title":"Nobel Factor","title":"Nobel Factor","post_content":"Economic theory may be speculative, but its impact is powerful and real. Since the 1970s, it has been closely associated with a sweeping change around the world--the \"market turn.\" This is what Avner Offer and Gabriel S\u00f6derberg call the rise of market liberalism, a movement that, seeking to replace social democracy, holds up buying and selling as the norm for human relations and society. Our confidence in markets comes from economics, and our confidence in economics is underpinned by the Nobel Prize in Economics, which was first awarded in 1969. Was it a coincidence that the market turn and the prize began at the same time? The Nobel Factor, the first book to describe the origins and power of the most important prize in economics, explores this and related questions by examining the history of the prize, the history of economics since the prize began, and the simultaneous struggle between market liberals and social democrats in Sweden, Europe, and the United States.","image":"https:\/\/c5-static.dodax.com\/de-ch\/dp\/VSEGING9TI8-cc42c03d8d-175-175-7091753106647738262","url":"https:\/\/www.vergleiche.ch\/unterhaltung\/product\/nobel-factor\/","min_price":0,"low_price_merchant_id":0,"deeplink":"","ean":9780691166032,"brand":"undefined"}
