Blanchard, David R. Johnson Pearson The Handbook on the Economics of Conflict conveys how economics can contribute to the understanding of conflict in its various dimensions embracing world wars, regional conflicts, terrorism and the role of peacekeeping in conflict prevention. The economics of conflict is a relatively new branch of the discipline of economics. 2011 Level: avancé Handbook on the Economics of Conflict Braddon, Derek L.; Hartley, Keith Edward Elgar Publishing 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: avancé Political Economy of Money and Finance Costas Lapavitsas; Makoto Itoh Palgrave Macmillan 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: avancé Reclaiming Pluralism in Economics Jerry Courvisanos, Jamie Doughney, Alex Millmow Routledge The world has changed dramatically in recent years and so has the field of economics, but many introductory economics textbooks have remained stuck in the past. This book provides a new beginning for the study of macroeconomics, fundamentally international in its approach and emphasizing current debates and research trends. 2014 Level: avancé Macroeconomics Dorman, Peter Springer-Verlag This book demonstrates the continuing relevance of economics for understanding the world, through a restatement of the importance of plurality and heterodox ideas for teaching and research. 2017 Level: avancé Post-Crash Economics Feraboli, Omar; Morelli, Carlo J.

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: débutant What is Neoclassical Economics? Morgan, Jamie 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: avancé Power and Neoclassical Economics Ozanne, Adam Palgrave Pivot 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: débutant A Modern Guide to Macroeconomics Snowdon, Brian; Vane, Howard R.; Wynarczyk, Peter Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Readers of economic and political theory as well as students of economic planning will appreciate this classic, now available for the first time in English.

The three topics, Economic Doctrines, Analysis and Modern Problems, might be the subject of concurrent courses or they may be studied consecutively. 1973 Level: débutant An Introduction to Modern Economics Robinson, Joan; Eatwell, John Maidenhead McGraw-Hill This book analyzes the transition of chocolate from an exotic curiosity to an Atlantic commodity. It shows how local, inter-regional, and Atlantic markets interacted with one another and with imperial political economies. It explains how these interactions, intertwined with the resilience of local artisanal production, promoted the partial democratization of chocolate consumption as well as economic growth. 2020 Level: avancé Empire, Political Economy, and the Diffusion of Chocolate in the Atlantic World Irene Fattacciu Routledge In analyzing the global competition between Chinese and Indian tea, Andrew B. Liu challenges past economic histories premised on the technical “divergence” between the West and the Rest, arguing instead that seemingly traditional technologies and practices were central to modern capital accumulation across Asia. 2020 Level: avancé Tea War Andrew B. Liu Yale University Press "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: avancé Economic Inequality and News Media Andrea Grisold & Paschal Preston T. Oxford University Press A comprehensive textbook on contemporary Global Political Economy and its historical evolution providing a broad-ranging and even-handed introduction to the subject by covering traditional elements (such as trade and finance) while also analysing issues such as gender, environment and labour. 2020 Level: avancé Global Political Economy Robert O'Brien & Marc Williams Red Globe Press It has become a contentious term in- and outside of economic policy: austerity. Allegedly the culprit behind the shortfalls of governments' reaction to the Great Financial Crisis, the policy makes for a spirited debate. 2015 Level: débutant Austerity Mark Blyth Oxford University Press This book highlights the political economy of wealth and income inequality in Latin America. The author segments his analysis to separately evaluate the economic, social, and political costs of inequality building on country case studies. It draws well-contextualized lessons from the Latin American experience that is important to consider for other regional contexts, especially for social policies of nations within the 'Middle Income Trap'. 2020 Level: débutant The Costs of Inequality in Latin America Diego Sánchez-Ancochea Bloomsbury Academic 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: débutant 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: débutant Capital and Imperialism Utsa Patnaik, Prabhat Patnaik NYU Press The Currency of Politics explains why only through greater awareness of the historical limits of monetary politics can we begin to articulate more democratic conceptions of money. 2022 Level: avancé The Currency of Politics Stefan Eich Princeton University Press Introduces four of the most influential economists you'll never read in a modern economics class - Marx, Veblen, Keynes, and Galbraith. 2016 Level: débutant Introduction to Political Economy Charles Sackrey, Geoffrey Schneider, Janet Knoedler Dollars & Sense 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: débutant The Worldly Philosophers Robert L. Heilbroner Touchstone "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: débutant An Introduction to Political Economy and Economics Dr Tim Thornton n.a.
