Book Review: _Crack-Up Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of a World without Democracy_

Historian Quinn Slobodian’s new book _Crack-Up Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of a World without Democracy_ complains about “zones,” or enclaves carved out of a nation and freed from ordinary forms of regulation. Worrying about a “race to the bottom,” Slobodian rehashes Marxist concerns about the exploitation of workers, and fails to appreciate the ability of competition to alleviate these problems.
