Addresses the challenges posed by a globally integrated economy and the economic roles played by information and motivation. The text argues for an egalitarian redistribution of assets - land, capital and housing - and the beneficial disciplining effects of competition.
Two prominent economists lead a debate to redistribute wealth. Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis diagnose the current malaise of the Left and propose a strategy of asset-based redistribution--land, capital, and housing. In the book a lead essay lays out the underlying logic of this proposal in detail, and is then followed by responses by both critics and supporters.
