Economic negationism: and how to get rid of it.

Summary The back cover states: "Miracle cures such as lower taxes, increased public spending, a halt to immigration, a 32-hour work week, the reindustrialization of territories, or the taxation of financial transactions are supposed to cure us of all our ills without cost. These untruths, repeated over and over again by the media, have a name: economic negationism. At the origin of strategic choices, it impoverishes us and results in millions of unemployed. Nowadays, one cannot assert everything and its opposite, because economics has become an experimental science based on a rigorous analysis of facts. This unknown revolution produces knowledge that often clashes with the beliefs and interests of big business, trade unionists, intellectuals and politicians. They do everything to sow doubt, even about the most established truths. The purpose of this book is to expose economic negationism. To stop wasting our time with debates that have already been decided and not to let ourselves be fooled by impostures and demagogy".
