In direct contrast to Keynesian recommendations of discretionary policy, models advocating laissez-faire came to the forefront of economic theory, from monetarism to public choice theory to new classical economics. This book provides a comprehensive account of this watershed and traces the evolution of laissez-faire using the cases of its main proponents.
