Routledge Handbook of Heterodox Economics
Volume 2: Dynamics and Alternatives
Overview
This second edition of The Routledge Handbook of Heterodox Economics presents a comprehensive overview of the latest work on economic theory and policy from a pluralistic heterodox perspective. The Handbook aims, firstly, to provide realistic and coherent theoretical frameworks to understand the capitalist economy. Secondly, it delineates future directions, as well as the current state, of heterodox economics, and then provides both 'heat and light' on controversial issues, drawing out the commonalities and differences among different heterodox economic approaches.
Goals and Perspectives
The Handbook also envisions transformative economic and social policies for populations across society and explains why the discipline of economics is, and should be treated as, a social science. Contributions throughout the Handbook's two volumes explore several theoretical perspectives, including but not limited to Marxian-radical political economics; Post Keynesian-Sraffian economics; institutionalist-evolutionary economics; feminist economics; social economics; Regulation theory; the Social Structure of Accumulation approach; and ecological economics.
Intended Audience
This Handbook will be of compelling interest to those, including students, who wish to learn about economic theories and policies that are rarely found in conventional economics textbooks or discussed in the mainstream media and critical economists and other social scientists who are concerned with analyzing pressing socio-economic issues.
