Sommario/riassunto

In this volume, Peritz analyses how free competition has signified both freedom from oppressive government and freedom from private



economic power. Peritz shows how these two complex yet distinct and sometimes contradictory images have influenced government policy and continue to inspire public debate over political economy in America.
