Growth, Profits and Property cover

This collection of essays is designed to present the variety, complexity, and power of non-neoclassical economic thinking to serious undergraduates.

This collection of essays is designed to illustrate the variety, complexity and power of non-neoclassical economic thinking. The essays define the fundamental questions differently, employ different analytical tools and arrive at different conclusions. The two strands of non-neoclassical thinking that occupy most of the book are the neo-Keynesian and the neo-Marxian. The bulk of the book is composed of essays on microeconomics, macroeconomics, trade, comparative systems and welfare, with an unusual section on property rights and social hierarchy.

' … it is a very welcome book, and its blend of constructive and destructive criticism of the neoclassical view of capitalism is generally quite effective …' The Economic Journal
