Envisioning a different mode of economic relations requires a
rethinking of the classical frames of references we commonly take
for granted. The implicit assumptions that we carry into critical
debates are the stumbling blocks for finding useful solutions to
age-old economic problems. And these impediments constrict our
political imagination. This book asks what are these frames of
references? How many of them are worthy of retaining, while others
might be discarded? And what new framings should be adopted in
order to bring about a less crisis-prone and morally acceptable
mode of human interaction? Each chapter interrogates a different
frame of reference, including culturally-embedded concepts of human
nature, scarcity and abundance, markets, and the human condition.
Examining their historical anchoring and the ways in which they
have become confining for the realities of the postmodern world in
which we currently live, it is shown that they have become so
familiar that they are assumed rather than critically examined in
most discussions of political economy.
