Railroading Economics: The Creation of the Free Market Mythology by Michael Perelman
Most economic theory assumes a pure capitalism of perfect competition. This book is a penetrating critique of the rhetoric and practice of conventional economic theory. It explores how even in the United States — the most capitalist of countries — the market has always been subject to numerous constraints.
