Bernard Harcourt: Free markets lead to less, not more freedom

The Illusion of Free Markets, Punishment and the Myth of Natural Order

by Bernard E. Harcourt
(Harvard University Press,
2011;
$29.61)

Stephen Harper campaigned for a majority so that his government could end judges' discretion in sentencing and make criminals serve full jail terms. Even though crime rates in Canada have been steadily declining, and California and other U.S. states are concluding that filling prisons to overcrowding does little to reduce crime and is an unacceptable drain on public finances, Harper continues to insist that this is a priority of the Conservative majority.
