'This wise and lucid guide to pluralism in economics embodies the
values of its cause. Generous, open-minded, fair, accurate and
accessible: John Harvey's new book is a fine achievement that every
economics major should read.' - James K. Galbraith, The University
of Texas at Austin, USJohn Harvey's accessible book provides a
non-technical yet rigorous introduction to various schools of
thought in economics. Premised on the idea that economic thinking
has been stunted by the almost complete rejection of anything
outside the mainstream, the author hopes that this volume will open
readers' minds and lead them in new and productive directions. In
his exploration of Neoclassical, Marxist, Austrian, Post Keynesian,
Institutionalist, New Institutionalist and Feminist schools of
thought, unique features of each approach are highlighted,
complemented by discussions of methodology, world views, popular
themes, and current activities. Accurate and impartial, every
chapter covering a heterodox school of thought has been vetted by
an acknowledged expert in that field. Though written for use in
undergraduate courses, this guide will no doubt offer a great deal
to any scholar wishing to gain a fresh perspective and greater
understanding of the variety and breadth of current economic
thinking.
