E. King Edward Elgar The economic crisis is also a crisis for economic theory. Most analyses of the evolution of the crisis invoke three themes, contagion, networks and trust, yet none of these play a major role in standard macroeconomic models. What is needed is a theory in which these aspects are central. 2011 Level: zaawansowane Complex Economics Alan Kirman Routledge In this book the author develops a new approach to uncertainty in economics, which calls for a fundamental change in the methodology of economics. It provides a comprehensive overview and critical appraisal of the economic theory of uncertainty and shows that uncertainty was originally conceptualized both as an epistemic and an ontological problem. 2017 Level: zaawansowane Uncertainty in Economics Julia Köhn Springer International Publishing The Austrian tradition in economic thought had a profound influence on the development of post-war economics including neoclassical orthodoxy, game theory, public choice, behavioral economics, experimental economics and complexity economics. 2008 Level: zaawansowane Explorations in Austrian Economics Roger Koppl Emerald Group Publishing The new edition of this classroom classic retains the organizing theme of the original text, presenting the development of thought within the context of economic history. 2015 Level: zaawansowane History of Economic Thought E.

But too often our understanding is based on orthodox, dogmatic analysis. 2016 Level: początkujący Macroeconomics - A Critical Companion Ben Fine Pluto Press Thirty-years of economic transformation has turned China into one of the major players in the global capitalist economy. However, its economic growth has generated rising problems in inequality, alienation, and sustainability with the agrarian crises of the 1990s giving rise to real social outcry to the extent that they became the object of central government policy reformulations. 2015 Level: zaawansowane Social Economy in China and the World Ngai Pun, Ben Hok-bun Ku, Hairong Yan, Anita Koo Taylor & Francis 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.

Tony Lawson has become a major figure of intellectual controversy on the back of juxtaposing two relatively simple and seemingly innocuous ideas. He has argued firstly that success in science depends on finding and using methods, including modes of reasoning, appropriate to the nature of the phenomena being studied, and also that there are important differences between the nature of the objects of study of natural sciences and those of social science. 2009 Level: zaawansowane Ontology and Economics Edward Fullbrook Routledge IS-LM is perhaps the prime example of `cognitive dissonance' in economics, and is problematic to many economists. On the one hand, the IS-LM model is still taught by many academic economists or they use it to derive the AD-AS approach. On the other hand, the same economists realize the limitations of the basic IS-LM model and would not now use it for policy analysis, as they did in the past. The distinction between pedagogical and analytical efficacy is made by all the authors in this volume regarding the IS-LM model. 2012 Level: zaawansowane IS-LM and Modern Macroeconomics Warren Young, Ben-Zion Zilberfarb Springer Science & Business Media Beyond Neoclassical Economics is a remarkable new introduction to the main heterodox schools of economic thought which examines their main concepts and their critiques of mainstream theory. 1996 Level: początkujący Beyond Neoclassical Economics Fred E. Foldvary Edward Elgar Geographical economics starts from the observation that economic activity is clearly not randomly distributed across space. This revised and updated introduction to geographical economics uses the modern tools of economic theory to explain the who, why and where of the location of economic activity. The text provides an integrated, first-principles introduction to geographical economics for advanced undergraduate students and first-year graduate students, and has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect important developments in the field, including new chapters on alternative core models and policy implications. 2009 Level: zaawansowane The New Introduction to Geographical Economics Steven Brakman, Harry Garretsen, Charles van Marrewijk Cambridge University Press 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: zaawansowane Reclaiming Pluralism in Economics Jerry Courvisanos, Jamie Doughney, Alex Millmow Routledge Debunking Economics - Revised and Expanded Edition exposes what many non-economists may have suspected and a minority of economists have long known: that economic theory is not only unpalatable, but also plain wrong. When the original Debunking Economics was published back in 2001, the market economy seemed invincible, and conventional "neoclassical" economic theory basked in the limelight. 2011 Level: początkujący Debunking Economics - Revised and Expanded Edition Steve Keen Zed Books 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: zaawansowane Power and Neoclassical Economics Ozanne, Adam Palgrave Pivot

The 2007-2008 financial crisis exposed the shortcomings of mainstream economic theory with economists unprepared to deal with it. In the face of this, a major rethinking of economics seems necessary and in presenting alternative approaches to economic theory, this book contributes to the rebuilding of the discipline.

2019 Level: zaawansowane Alternative Approaches to Economic Theory Víctor A. Beker Routledge Economics is extremely sick. It is so locked in its past that nearly all of its introductory textbooks are modelled on one that appeared in 1948. The discipline cannot continue in its autistic state much longer. 2007 Level: zaawansowane Real World Economics Edward Fullbrook Anthem Press This volume is concerned with the different schools within the discipline of economics (theoretical pluralism) and the relationship of economics to other disciplines, such as sociology, political science and philosophy (interdisciplinarity). 2007 Level: zaawansowane Teaching Pluralism in Economics John Groenewegen Edward Elgar The Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics surveys the achievements of the most visible scholars in this area. The contributions to the Companion give both a brief survey on the various fields of neo-Schumpeterian economics as well as insights into recent research at the scientific frontiers. 2007 Level: zaawansowane Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics Horst Hanusch, Andreas Pyka Edward Elgar
