In the aftermath of the recent economic downturn, numerous commentators proclaimed the days of free markets to be over. In Virtues of Capitalism, a very timely and balanced book, Austin Hill and Scott Rae agree with capitalism's critics that the economy is essentially a moral isse, but they argue that free markets are by-and-large the solution to financial disasters rather than the cause.
