Marketcrafters

In this eye-opening audiobook, economist Chris Hughes challenges the long-held belief that free markets alone drive prosperity, revealing the crucial role of government in shaping American capitalism over the past century. By exploring historical industrial policies and the influential figures behind them, he introduces the concept of “marketcrafters” who skillfully blend expertise with decision-making to nurture economic growth. Hughes argues that understanding this intricate interplay between markets and state intervention is vital for crafting effective industrial policies, especially in light of today's challenges like artificial intelligence and the climate crisis.
