Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, there has been an
unprecedented move towards 'rethinking economics' due to the
damages generated by the global financial crisis that burst in
2007-2008. Almost a decade after this crisis, policy is still
unable to provide all citizens greater wellbeing or at least an
encouraging economic future. This book addresses the urgent need to
rethink economics by providing readers at all levels with
thoughtful chapters on a range of relevant economic topics. Editors
Louis-Philippe Rochon and Sergio Rossi provide a first-class
compilation of contemporary economic problems as well as a
criticism of mainstream economics and economic policy, thereby
offering a thorough investigation of these issues and policy
solutions along alternative lines of thought. The book includes
chapters on rethinking fiscal and monetary policies, international
trade, the role of the State, money, banks, economic growth, the
environment, development policies, energy, healthcare, and more.
Special attention is paid to the importance of institutions and
power relationships within the economic system. Written by top
experts in their respective fields, this book will be useful to
students and faculty who want to not only rethink economics, but
also to offer an alternative and coherent economic analysis to the
orthodoxy. Economists and policy-makers will also find this book to
be of much interest. Contributors include: A. Asensio, J.-L.
