      abstract = {"This book tells the story of how the business community,  and the trade associations and think tanks that it created,  launched three powerful assaults during the last quarter of  the twentieth century on the federal regulatory system and  the state civil justice system to accomplish a revival of  the laissez faire political economy that dominated Gilded  Age America.  Although the consequences of these assaults  became painfully apparent in a confluence of crises during  the early twenty-first century, the patch-and-repair fixes  that Congress and the Obama administration put into place  did little to change the underlying laissez faire ideology  and practice that continues to dominate the American  political economy.  In anticipation of the next confluence  of crises, Thomas McGarity offers suggestions for more  comprehensive governmental protections for consumers,  workers, and the environment." -- Publisher's description.},
