In March, the Public Policy Foundation of West Virginia published its first book, Unleashing Capitalism: Why Prosperity Stops at the West Virginia Border and How to Fix It. This 14 chapter, 237-page roadmap suggests specific free market policy reforms that would promote long-run economic growth in the state. Russell Sobel, PhD, the book’s editor and an economics professor, notes, 25 scholars from across the US contributed to this book and the reforms addressed cover “the broad spectrum from tax policy to legal reform to the security of private property rights.” Sobel advances, the policies advocated “work because they result in increased capital formation, higher labor productivity, reduced levels of wasteful lobbying activity, greater entrepreneurial discovery, and investment being better channeled to productive uses.” Clcik Unleashing Capitalism to learn more about the book.
