The Politics of Free Markets pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Monica Prasad's areas of interest are comparative historical sociology, economic sociology, and political sociology. She has published books and articles on the rise of neoliberalism, the development of tax systems, the effects of carbon taxes, and the persistence of poverty in America.
Her most recent book The Land of Too Much (co-winner of the American Sociological Association's award for the best book in sociology) develops a demand-side theory of comparative political economy to explain the surprisingly large role of the state in the U.S., its origins in the 19th century revolution in agricultural productivity, and its consequences for undermining a European-style welfare state and leaving U.S. economic growth dependent on "mortgage Keynesianism."
In 2015-2016 she will be a fellow at the Russell Sage Foundation, working on a book about the origins of the 1981 "Laffer curve" tax cut.

The attempt to reduce the role of the state in the market through tax cuts, decreases in social spending, deregulation, and privatization—“neoliberalism”—took root in the United States under Ronald Reagan and in Britain under Margaret Thatcher. But why did neoliberal policies gain such prominence in these two countries and not in similarly industrialized Western countries such as France and Germany?
In The Politics of Free Markets, a comparative-historical analysis of the development of neoliberal policies in these four countries,Monica Prasad argues that neoliberalism was made possible in the United States and Britain not because the Left in these countries was too weak, but because it was in some respects too strong. At the time of the oil crisis in the 1970s, American and British tax policies were more punitive to business and the wealthy than the tax policies of France and West Germany; American and British industrial policies were more adversarial to business in key domains; and while the British welfare state was the most redistributive of the four, the French welfare state was the least redistributive. Prasad shows that these adversarial structures in the United States and Britain created opportunities for politicians to find and mobilize dissatisfaction with the status quo, while the more progrowth policies of France and West Germany prevented politicians of the Right from anchoring neoliberalism in electoral dissatisfaction.

经济与市场主题的另一切入点。当斯特兰奇告诉我们应该重视谈判，重视不同的政治经济结构时。普拉萨德告诉我们民意是怎样被历史所塑造，政客又是怎样通过政治结构利用民意，推行有利于自己在位的新自由主义改革，当然是偶然而不彻底的。但长期来看，三十年河东过去了，三十年河西呢？民粹回潮和黄马甲之后呢？
评分开头太怂人听闻。强调以政治决策结构作为结合部，具体的的政策制定过程是如何被各方推进的。
评分个人觉得本书很大的问题是，开头用“新自由主义产生是左派力量太强”这样标题党式的论断作为噱头，树稻草人，作为学术策略固无不妥，但后文论述中这个论断越来越站不住脚（左右界定不清，力量强弱缺乏标准），结果更像是在写政治行动者在不同制度结构中的行动策略及其后果，虽然经验材料很丰富，国家间比较也很有说服力，但是结论的理论位点就很模糊，不知道跟什么理论在对话。
