A global economy, energized by technological change and unprecedented flows of people and money, collapses in the wake of a terrorist attack .... The year is 1914.

With communism discredited, more and more nations harness their fortunes to the global free-market.

"Commanding Heights" should be required viewing for everyone in the United States and the world. It gives in a compact form a history of economic thought and the application of economic principles to human life. No serious student of history should be without a clear understanding of everything in this series. We are fortunate that the authors took such care in explaining incredibly complex ideas and illustrating their consequences when applied.
