One Market Under God

Description:

Examines the attempts made in the 1990s to infuse free-market ideology with claims of democracy, resulting in something called market populism. Driven by the economy's irrational exuberance, market populism served as cover for various nefarious activities, usually directed toward gathering profits without boundaries, and as a sessile home for the various weird ideas floating around the lower depths of American intellectual currents.
