The first of its kind, this volume looks at the relevance of first-person accounts to narrative histories of economics.

A History of Capitalist Transformation: A Critique of Liberal-Capitalist Reforms highlights how, since the recent financial crises, the expression 'liberal reform' has entered common parlance as an evocative image of austerity and economic malaise, especially for the working classes and a segment of the middle class.

A History of Capitalist Transformation

Giampaolo Conte

Routledge

This course teaches basic concepts relevant in political economy. Topics include the contractual nature of the state, public versus private goods, property rights and economic externalities, the logic of collective action and social choice theory. It also refers to the fundamentals of political philosophy, bringing two ideas of liberty into the picture. The relevance and limitations of the economic approach to the study of law and politics are then discussed.

State, Law and the Economy

Prof. Y.C. Richard Wong

n.a.

Umfassende Analysen des globalen Kapitalismus haben wieder Konjunktur, und mit ihnen kommt auch der zwischenzeitlich totgesagte Karl Marx wieder zu unverhofften Ehren (Negri/Hardt, Robert Kurz u.A.). FReilich scheint diese Auseinandersetzung durchweg recht oberflachlich, findet zumindest Michael Heinrich und pladiert somit fur eine Neuaneignung der Marxschen Theorie selbst.

Kritik der politischen Ökonomie

Michael Heinrich

Schmetterling-Verlag

Mainstream economics was founded on many strong assumptions. Institutions and politics were treated as irrelevant, government as exogenous, social norms as epiphenomena. As an initial gambit this was fine. But as the horizons of economic inquiry have broadened, these assumptions have becomehindrances rather than aids.

Prelude to Political Economy

Kaushik Basu

Oxford University Press

Once in a while the world astonishes itself. Anxious incredulity replaces intellectual torpor and a puzzled public strains its antennae in every possible direction, desperately seeking explanations for the causes and nature of what just hit it. 2008 was such a moment. Not only did the financial system collapse, and send the real economy into a tailspin, but it also revealed the great gulf separating economics from a very real capitalism.

Rethinking Imperialism

J. Milios, D. Sotiropoulos

Springer

Seit Beginn der globalen Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise 2007 steht auch die akademische Disziplin der Ökonomie in der Kritik. Dabei ist die Ökonomie nicht nur mit dem Vorwurf konfrontiert, man hätte die Entstehung der Krise sowie die ihr zugrunde liegenden mittel- bis langfristigen Entwicklungen nicht ausreichend beachtet und antizipiert.
