In the 20th century, privatization and market capitalism have reconstructed Eastern Europe and lifted 800 million people - in China, Brazil, and India - out of poverty. In Economics Does Not Lie, noted French journalist Guy Sorman reveals that behind this unprecedented growth is not only the collapse of state socialism but also a scientific revolution in economics - one that is as of yet dimly understood by the public but increasingly embraced by policymakers around the globe.

July 16, 2009: Truly one of the best economics books to date. The principles Sorman outlines are nothing new, but the manner and clarity with which he does so certainly is. It demonstrates the necessity of the free market in these troubled economic times. Genius is when the complicated is made simple and clear. Sorman does exactly that.
