Although the consequences of these assaults became painfully apparent in a confluence of crises during the early twenty-first century, the patch-and-repair fixes that Congress and the Obama administration put into place did little to change the underlying laissez faire ideology and practice that continues to dominate the American political economy. In anticipation of the next confluence of crises, Thomas McGarity offers suggestions for more comprehensive governmental protections for consumers, workers, and the environment." -- Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Deregulation $z United States. 650 0 $a Consumer protection $z United States. 650 0 $a Environmental law $z United States. 941 $a 5 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214015520.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718091233.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211020029.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826085626.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140917012516.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=319F23263E3011E4861469EFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
