｜國之興亡，必有經濟｜自由市場何以變成恐怖情人？以為它能許我們財富，迎來的卻是週期性的市場失靈。如今主張放寬國際市場干預的是習近平，捍衛保護主義的成了美國。邁入經濟發展的新世紀，正是時候重新認識自由市場。――――――――――――――――――◎ 我們可學到許多與當前政策辯論相關的知識。無論你是喜愛或討厭自由市場，都可從這本書獲益匪淺。――洛倫斯．H．薩默斯，前美國財政部長、哈佛大學第27任校長◎ 雅各．索爾引人入勝且開創性的研究是一場歷史的壯麗之旅，也是對塑造世界主要經濟思想的精彩探索。――戈登．布朗，前英國首相――――――――――――――――――｜把自由與干預的市場演變寫成一部引人入勝的歷史故事｜◆ 亞當斯密的《國富論》被錯誤理解，他主張政府的手在市場中扮演重要角色？◆ 西塞羅鼓吹建立依循道德運作的市場，卻諷刺地在羅馬的權力交易中被出賣？◆ 史上首次股票上市的荷蘭東印度公司，為何能讓民眾相信紙張即代表公司所有權？◆ 十八世紀的英法經濟學家認為，讓私人公司支付公債以換取壟斷便可解決國債？距今不到二十年的時間裡，美國政府兩度緊急干預市場，自由市場的概念遭遇嚴重考驗。曾獲頒麥克阿瑟「天才獎」的雅各．索爾，深入淺出地梳理出我們如何走到這個當前危機，以及如何通過回顧自由市場思想的千年歷史來找到出路。與主流的認知相背，早期的市場理論家認為國家在建立和維護自由市場扮演著重要角色。但到了18世紀，思想家們主張在沒有國家干預的情況下實踐自由市場，從而形成了一種意識形態，在隨後的幾個世紀中不斷成長茁壯。從古羅馬到21世紀、從西塞羅（Cicero）到弗里德曼（Milton Friedman），雅各•索爾追蹤了自由市場的思想演變，主張我們必須回到自由市場思想的起源，才能真正理解它，並制定新的經濟概念來應對當今的挑戰。
