Gramm and Boudreaux tackle seven longstanding historical myths about American capitalism that still influence economic discussion today. * Wall Street Journal *The Triumph of Economic Freedom is a welcome reminder to a nation suffering elected officials who have forgotten Economics 101 and 150 years of growing prosperity. * Kosar on Congress and Governance *I wish that every American college and high school teacher of politics, economics, and history could be persuaded to read this invaluable book and to share its lessons with their students. * Law & Liberty *
