Since the financial crisis of 2008 and the following Great
Recession, there has been surprisingly little change in the systems
of ideas, institutions and policies which preceded the crash and
helped bring it about. 'Mainstream' economics carries on much as it
did before. Despite much discussion of what went wrong, very little
has substantially changed. Perhaps the answer has something to do
with power; a subject on which economics is unusually quiet. Whilst
economics may be able to discuss bargaining power and market power,
it fails to explore the reciprocal connections between economic
ideas and politics: the political power of economic ideas on the
one side, and the influence of power structures on economic thought
on the other. This book explores how the supposedly neutral
discipline of economics does not simply describe human behaviour,
but in fact shapes it.
