Perhaps no U.S.-based scholar is better equipped and more able to Make the Progressive Case than David Coates. Convincingly arguing in favor of regulated markets, managed trade, and a green economy, Coates offers a superior liberal alternative economic model to the emerging center-right consensus in the U.S., after the Tea Party revolt in November 2010. His book is a genuine tour de force and should be read by anyone worried about the future of the American economy and the revival of the American dream. Superbly written, with genuine wit and scholarly sophistication, this book could not be more important and timely. Making the Progressive Case underscores Coates' credentials as one of America's greatest political economic thinkers, as he lays the intellectual groundwork for a persuasive liberal answer during the 2012 presidential elections. -Matthias Matthijs, Assistant Professor of International Political Economy, American University, Washington DC.
