This book is a collection of articles on topics and individuals within the history of heterodox economic thought, approached from a heterodox perspective. The principal topics are the nature and scope of economics as an intellectual venture. 1992 Level: adelantado Essays in the History of Heterodox Political Economy Warren J. Samuels NYU Press 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. Level: adelantado State, Law and the Economy Prof. Y.C. Richard Wong n.a. Until the end of the early 1970s, from a history of economic thought perspective, the mainstream in economics was pluralist, but once neoclassical economics became totally dominant it claimed the mainstream as its own. Since then, alternative views and schools of economics increasingly became minorities in the discipline and were considered 'heterodox'. 2016 Level: adelantado Reclaiming Pluralism in Economics Jerry Courvisanos, Jamie Doughney, Alex Millmow Routledge Mainstream economics almost completely ignores the role power plays in determining economic outcomes, which means it can only provide partial explanations of the distribution of wealth and income, and of the problems associated with inequality and poverty. 2016 Level: adelantado Power and Neoclassical Economics Ozanne, Adam Palgrave Pivot Foundations of Economics breathes life into the discipline by linking key economic concepts with wider debates and issues. By bringing to light delightful mind-teasers, philosophical questions and intriguing politics in mainstream economics, it promises to enliven an otherwise dry course whilst inspiring students to do well. 1998 Level: debutante Foundations of Economics Yanis Varoufakis Psychology Press Why are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. 2012 Level: adelantado Why Nations Fail Daron Acemoglu, James A. Robinson Crown The chapter by the Centre for Economy Studies introduces interdisciplinary economic subdisciplines and their importance for economics education. 2021 Level: debutante Interdisciplinary Economics Sam de Muijnck and Joris Tieleman Economy Studies This chapter by the Centre for Economy Studies explores how courses on the history of economic thought and methods could look if they were pluralist and interdisciplinary. 2021 Level: debutante Rethinking the History of Economic Thought & Methods Sam de Muijnck and Joris Tieleman Economy Studies This brilliantly concise book is a classic introduction to Marx’s key work, Capital. In print now for over a quarter of a century, and previously translated into many languages, the new edition has been fully revised and updated, making it an ideal modern introduction to one of the most important texts in political economy. 2010 Level: adelantado 'Marx's Capital' Ben Fine, Alfredo Saad-Filho Pluto Press Economics has become a monolithic science, variously described as formalistic and autistic with neoclassical orthodoxy reigning supreme. So argue Dimitris Milonakis and Ben Fine in this new major work of critical recollection. 2009 Level: adelantado From Political Economy to Economics Dimitris Milonakis, Ben Fine Routledge This unique up-to-date volume not only provides state-of-the-art discussions of the most recent developments in modern macroeconomics but also includes a series of interviews with leading economists that shed new light on the major intellectual and policy issues of the 1990s. The book is at once an invaluable text and a superb overview that will be welcomed by teachers and students alike. 1994 Level: debutante A Modern Guide to Macroeconomics Snowdon, Brian; Vane, Howard R.; Wynarczyk, Peter Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The book is offered, in the first instance, to students who are beginners in economics, but some parts of it may be of wider interest. The three topics, Economic Doctrines, Analysis and Modern Problems, might be the subject of concurrent courses or they may be studied consecutively. 1973 Level: debutante An Introduction to Modern Economics Robinson, Joan; Eatwell, John Maidenhead McGraw-Hill "Despite the rediscovery of the inequality topic by economists as well as other social scientists in recent times, relatively little is known about how economic inequality is mediated to the wider public of ordinary citizens and workers. That is precisely where this book steps in: It draws on a cross-national empirical study to examine how mainstream news media discuss, respond to, and engage with such important and politically sensitive issues and trends. 2020 Level: adelantado Economic Inequality and News Media Andrea Grisold & Paschal Preston T. Oxford University Press In the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, Quinn Slobodian follows neoliberal thinkers from the Habsburg Empire’s fall to the creation of the World Trade Organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulations than to deploy them globally to protect capitalism. 2020 Level: debutante Globalists Quinn Slobodian Harvard University Press Those who control the world’s commanding economic heights, buttressed by the theories of mainstream economists, presume that capitalism is a self-contained and self-generating system. 2021 Level: debutante Capital and Imperialism Utsa Patnaik, Prabhat Patnaik NYU Press To explain the pronounced instability of the world economy since the 1970s, the book offers an important and systematic theoretical examination of money and finance. 1999 Level: adelantado Political Economy of Money and Finance Costas Lapavitsas; Makoto Itoh Palgrave Macmillan Despite some diversification modern economics still attracts a great deal of criticism. This is largely due to highly unrealistic assumptions underpinning economic theory, explanatory failure, poor policy framing, and a dubious focus on prediction. Many argue that flaws continue to owe much of their shortcomings to neoclassical economics. 2015 Level: debutante What is Neoclassical Economics? Morgan, Jamie Routledge The recent financial meltdown and the resulting global recession have rekindled debates regarding the nature of contemporary capitalism. 2013 Level: adelantado A Political Economy of Contemporary Capitalism and its Crisis Sotiropoulos, Dimitris P.; Milios, John; Lapatsioras, Spyros Routledge This course is part of the SDG initiative addressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals, specifically for the following SDGs [1, 8, 10 and 16]. Level: debutante Political Economy of Institutions and Development Richard Thomas Griffiths Universiteit Leiden Steve Keen provides an alternative view on Macroeconomics before and after the crisis and outlines different macroeconomic fallacies. Level: adelantado Advanced Political Economy Lectures Steve Keen University of Western Sydney "This eleven-week course offers a pluralist introduction to political economy and economics. We will examine nine (9) competing schools of thought, each of which offer an original and distinctive illumination of economic and social reality. The course offers a level of learning that would at least match that which is offered by a University. However, you do not need to be connected to a university or to have studied political economy or economics previously to enrol in this particular subject." 2022 Level: debutante An Introduction to Political Economy and Economics Dr Tim Thornton n.a. The third edition of Political Economy: The Contest of Economic Ideas is a fully updated overview of the political economy and its connection with social concerns. This book investigates the main traditions of economic ideas and provides a 'big picture' overview of the analytical tools and value judgements associated with competing schools of economic thought. 2011 Level: adelantado Political Economy Frank Stilwell OUP Australia & New Zealand Is or has economics ever been the imperial social science? Could or should it ever be so? These are the central concerns of this book. It involves a critical reflection on the process of how economics became the way it is, in terms of a narrow and intolerant orthodoxy, that has, nonetheless, increasingly directed its attention to appropriating the subject matter of other social sciences through the process termed "economics imperialism". 2009 Level: adelantado From Economics Imperialism to Freakonomics Ben Fine, Dimitris Milonakis Routledge John Maurice Clark’s article “The Changing Basis of Economic Responsibility,“ published in the Journal of Political Economy, is the topical starting point for all scholars interested in economic responsibility and responsible economic action. 2017 Level: adelantado Economic Responsibility Michaela Haase Springer 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. 2011 Level: adelantado Modern Political Economics Yanis Varoufakis, Joseph Halevi, Nicholas Theocarakis Routledge The bestselling classic that examines the history of economic thought from Adam Smith to Karl Marx—“all the economic lore most general readers conceivably could want to know, served up with a flourish” (The New York Times). The Worldly Philosophers not only enables us to see more deeply into our history but helps us better understand our own times. In this seventh edition, Robert L. Heilbroner provides a new theme that connects thinkers as diverse as Adam Smith and Karl Marx. 1999 Level: debutante The Worldly Philosophers Robert L. Heilbroner Touchstone This is an introductory course into economics that navigates the intellectual history of political economy in a self-contained and non-technical manner. The course centres on the classical concept of political economy by emphasizing the moral and ethical problems that markets solve or may not solve. 2016 Level: debutante Capitalism & Political Economy Dr. Michael Munger Duke University
