This study seeks to demonstrate the subtle ways in which changes in the language associated with economic issues are reflective of a gradual but quantifiable conservative ideological shift.In this rigorous analysis, David George uses as his data a century of word usage within The New York Times, starting in 1900. It is not always obvious how the changes identified necessarily reflect a stronger prejudice toward laissez-faire free market capitalism, and so much of the book seeks to demonstrate the subtle ways in which the changing language indeed carries with it a political message. This analysis is made through exploration of five major areas of focus: "e;economics rhetoric"e; scholarship and the growing "e;behavioral economics"e; school of thought; the discourse of government and taxation; the changing meaning of "e;competition,"e; and "e;competitive"e;; changing attitudes toward labor; and the celebration of growth relative to the decline in attention to economic justice and social equality.
