Heterodox economics can provide a more complete and robust
explanation of economic realities than orthodox (or mainstream)
economics. Contemporary Issues in Heterodox Economics: Implications
for Theory and Policy Action argues that this greater explanatory
power gives heterodox economics the ability to illuminate
appropriate policy for the major crises of our time, as well as
proffer the basis for a more rounded, pluralist approach to
economic theory. The chapters in this wide-ranging volume address
some of the key issues facing the global economy, including the
growing disparity of income/wealth between persons and economic
areas, environmental degradation, issues associated with
employment, and the regularity of economic/financial crises. The
authors examine potential policy responses such as modern monetary
theory, models of public ownership, and the need to move beyond
standard concepts of growth. They also explore the deficiencies of
orthodox economics, and contend that a more pluralist approach to
economics is required in the public sphere, in academia, and in the
classroom in order to help face the challenges of the twenty-first
century. This book is invaluable reading for students and scholars
across the social sciences who are interested in alternatives to
mainstream economic thinking.
