The Captured Economy: How the Powerful Enrich Themselves, Slow Down Growth, and Increase Inequality

Steven M. Teles, Brink Lindsey

4.25

challenging informative medium-paced

“The need for liberaltarian politics has never been greater.”

Lindsey and Teles provide a clear critique of specific government policies that enrich wealthy special interests at the expense of the lower classes through rent-seeking. The book ends with a series of bi-partisan policies to increase economic growth and reduce income inequality, although I suspect the non-partisan prescriptions make the audience for the book narrow in the current climate.
