Standard economics models do not address the real functioning of our market economies, but rather an imagined economy. 2022 Level: debutante Economics and the Real World Joaquim Vergés Ethics International Press Ltd, UK Financialization is one of the most innovative concepts to emerge in the field of political economy during the last three decades, although there is no agreement on what exactly it is.

He points out flaws and weakness of the discipline, but also argues that certain criticisms which have brought forward against are without merit.

Starr Routledge Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century is the most widely discussed work of economics in recent history, selling millions of copies in dozens of languages. But are its analyses of inequality and economic growth on target? Where should researchers go from here in exploring the ideas Piketty pushed to the forefront of global conversation? A cast of economists and other social scientists tackle these questions in dialogue with Piketty, in what is sure to be a much-debated book in its own right. 2019 Level: adelantado After Piketty Marshall Steinbaum, J.

Christopher Proctor, David Uwakwe Routledge Written by the Nobel Prize winners in Economics Robert Shiller and George Akerlof, this book shows how deception and manipulation play a big role in the economic behavior of individuals, as well as showing how the assumption of "perfect information" is far away from the truth.

Goodwin, Jonathan M. Harris, Julie A. Nelson, Brian Roach, Mariano Torras Routledge Despite some diversification modern economics still attracts a great deal of criticism.
