'In the midst of the double crisis of the economy and of economic
theory, we need innovative ideas. These ideas have to be soundly
based on analytical foundations as well as on an appreciation of
the limits of political economy. Flaschel and Luchtenberg have
written a book which will be read deeply and for a long time.' -
From the foreword by Meghnad Desai The current crises in the
financialization of capitalism, and their repercussions on the
financial viability of entire countries, severely question the
achievements of mainstream economics and its disregard of Keynes's
theory of effective demand and finance. In view of this, Peter
Flaschel and Sigrid Luchtenberg consider roads to a type of
capitalism that could eventually be considered as 'social' in
nature. The authors underpin their study with theory, empirical
evidence, and policy from a positive as well as a normative
perspective. As points of departure for their concept of social
capitalism, the theoretical framework provides a synthesis of the
work of Marx, Keynes, and Schumpeter on ruthless capitalism,
regulated capitalism, and competitive socialism. This challenging
book will prove a thought-provoking and much needed alternative for
academics and students of economics, heterodox economics and the
history of economic thought, as well as for individuals interested
in the understanding and reshaping of capitalism. Contents:
