Hisotrian Mark Wilson's new book Destructive Creation is a defense of the management of the war economy against those on the right, who attribute wartime production to the genius of private business, and those on the left, who see the wartime state as an engine of profiteering and monopoly. The book is animated by the idea that wartime planning represents a lost model for effective public direction of the economy.
