About the book
"Since the 1970s, Robert Barro's academic research has significantly influenced macroeconomic theory. For more than a decade, his writing has also enlivened the pages of publications such as the Wall Street Journal and Business Week. In Nothing Is Sacred, Barro applies his well-honed free market arguments to a remarkably diverse range of issues. These include global problems such as growth and debt, as well as social issues such as the predictive value of SAT scores, drug legalization, the economics of beauty, and the relationship between abortion rights and crime reduction. Throughout, Barro shows that even the most widely held beliefs are not sacred truths. The application of sound economic analysis can shed new -- and often surprising -- light on them."--rear cover.
First sentence: At the Harvard University that I knew as a graduate student in the late 1960s, Milton Friedman was treated as a right-wing midwestern crank.
