The Case For Big Government
Madrick insists that politics and economics go hand in hand and explains why America benefits when the government actively nourishes economic growth. He argues that America must reject free market orthodoxy to deal with changing times. Indeed, when America worked best in the past, it always did just that.

Why Economies Grow
Madrick avoids the simplistic interpretations of economic growth that now dominate the public discourse and proposes an original agenda for the nation that is historically well-grounded and stresses the breadth and complexity of economic growth.
The End of Affluence
Madrick explains why prosperity has eluded so many Americans for decades. He cuts through the rhetoric and illusions of both political parties to write, as one leading economist put it, "one of the best books on what's happening in the American economy to be published in years."
