Summary

Though Economics as a discipline arose in Great Britain and France at the end of the eighteenth century, it has taken two centuries to reach the threshold of scientific rationality. Previously, intuition, opinions, and conviction enjoyed equal status in economic thought; theories were vague, often unverifiable. It is no wonder, then, that bad economic policies ravaged entire nations during the twentieth century. In Economics Does Not Lie, noted French journalist Guy Sorman examines the state of economic affairs today. Virtually everywhere, the public sector has given ground to privatization
