Recenzii
John Drobak uses Rethinking Market Regulation: Helping Labor by Overcoming Economic Myths to make the case for stronger consideration of labor issues in merger analysis and other government decisions. A well-argued book, it draws heavily on Drobak's expertise in law and economics and his work with the late Nobel laureate Douglass North.
Rethinking Market Regulation is a timely and much needed rebuttal to the economic analysis that has justified decades of corporate outsourcing of millions of jobs and the legitimization of massive executive compensation in our country during hard times for many employees. Drobak, contrary to Wall Street Myth, fervently believes greed is not good and urges several thoughtful proposals for change, notably including adding labor representation to corporate boards and creating a new Federal review board for mergers to assess the expected displacement of labor. This is a stellar work that deserves the widest possible readership.
Rethinking Market Regulation tells a challenging story about labor markets. A legal scholar and a long-term intellectual partner to Douglass North, the author undercuts the ongoing economic narrative about the benefits of the so-called workforce flexibility and the presumably 'intractable' rigidities introduced by labor regulations. His interpretation provides substantial food for thought about the ongoing divisions of American society and, more generally, about rising populism everywhere.
In this extremely valuable and insightful book, John Drobak dismantles the many economic myths that have prevented America from moving toward a more socially just society. Rethinking Market Regulation provides a critical refutation of past orthodox thinking and policies, delivering a much-needed blueprint for where we need to be heading in the future.
In this thought-provoking book, John Drobak invites us to take a new look at markets and regulation, by challenging many of the standard assumptions made by economists. Perhaps Drobak's biggest idea rests on citizen/voter beliefs about the market. If a large portion of Americans become disillusioned with markets because they believe markets work only for the rich, then it risks a political backlash. This is a recipe for populism and anti-market policies.
