Money Talks: Alan Greenspan's Free Market Rhetoric and the Tragic Legacy of Reaganomics

This  book explores the American freemarket economy, espoused by Alan  Greenspan, the longtime chairman of the Federal Reserve, through  decoding the discourse of economics. Combining an analysis of both  economics and language, the legacy of Reaganomics is examined in  relation to economic inequality, fiscal policy, public discourse, and  the moral economy. How notions of easy money, conspicuous consumption,  and unlimited economic growth were harnessed to justify the Free Market  revolution is also discussed.

This book aims  to highlight the drivers of modern inequality and economic distress. It  will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history  of economic thought and economic discourse.
