Borderlands of Economics - Essays in Honour of Daniel R. Fusfeld (Hardcover, annotated edition)

In recent years there has been increasing discontent with the abstract nature of mainstream economics. Not only does this make the subject less relevant to real issues, it drives a wedge between economics and other disciplines ostensibly addressing the same issues. This text explores the ways in which economics might be reconnected, both with the real world and with other disciplines. Daniel R. Fusfeld - Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor - is renowned for his passion in extending the borderlines of economics - both to better the discipline itself and in the interests of the welfare of his fellow human beings. In this volume friends, former students and colleagues all recognize his role as an educator, scholar and social activist. As the title of the volume suggests, most of the essays, (although they vary widely in focus, content, and worldview), share Fusfeld's vision; they assume a critical standpoint towards orthodox economics, economic theory, or political economy.
