yesthattom | The Conservative Nanny State

For decades the media (and conservatives) have pushed a particular framing of political views on the economy: conservatives favor free market policies, while progressives want the government to intervene in the market. In fact, The Conservative Nanny State explains, this is completely untrue: conservatives are strongly anti-free market. They depend on the government to make the wealthiest people in America even more stupendously rich.
As Baker shows, this is the case essentially across the board. Conservatives push trade, monetary, tax and intellectual property policies that get the government deeply involved in the economy. The only difference between them and progressives is that conservatives want the government to help Paris Hilton, while progressives want the government to help regular people.
The Conservative Nanny State is short and easy to read, and requires no special background in economics. It’s also available for free as an e-book at its website, or for $6.91 as a paperback. (For Baker’s ideas on how copyright law can be overhauled to benefit writers, musicians, artists and everyone else in the internet age, see Chapter 4.)
