This insightful work explores capitalism through a radical institutional lens, revealing connections between neoclassical and Marxist theories in The Fundamental Institutions of Capitalism.
In The Fundamental Institutions of Capitalism, Ernesto Screpanti offers a thought-provoking examination of capitalism through a radical institutional lens. He delves into various topics, presenting compelling arguments that reveal surprising commonalities between neoclassical and Marxist perspectives. This approach encourages readers to reconsider traditional economic theories and explore the underlying institutions that shape capitalist societies.
The author engages with a wide array of ideas, challenging the reader to think critically about the structures that govern economic interactions. By bridging gaps between differing economic schools of thought, Screpanti fosters a dialogue that invites both neoclassical economists and Marxist theorists to find shared ground. This synthesis not only enriches the discourse on capitalism but also highlights the complexities inherent in economic systems.
The Fundamental Institutions of Capitalism is designed for a diverse audience, appealing to social scientists, advanced students, and professionals interested in the intersections of politics and economics. Screpanti's insights provide a fresh perspective on familiar concepts, making this work a valuable addition to the literature on economic theory and institutional analysis.
