The ongoing economic crisis has revealed fundamental problems both
in our economic system and the discipline which analyses it. This
book presents a series of contrasting but complementary approaches
in economic theory in order to offer a critical toolkit for
examining the modern capitalist economy. The global economic crisis
may have changed the world in which we live, but not the
fundamental tenets of the discipline. This book is a critical
assessment of the relation between economic theory and economic
crises: how intellectual thinking impacts on real economic events
and vice versa. It aims at challenging the conventional way in
which economics is taught in universities and later adopted by
public officials in the policymaking process. The contributions,
all written by distinguished academics and researchers, offer a
heterodox perspective on economic thinking and analysis. Each
chapter is inspired by alternative theoretical approaches which
have been mostly side-lined from current academic teaching
programmes. A major suggestion of the book is that the recent
economic crisis can be better understood by recovering such
theoretical analyses and turning them into a useful framework for
economic policymaking. Economic Crisis and Economic Thought is
intended as a companion to economics students at the Master's and
PhD level, in order for them to confront issues related to the
labour market, the financial sector, macroeconomics, industrial
economics, etc. with an alternative and complementary perspective.
It challenges the way in which economic theory is currently taught
and offered via alternatives for the future.
