In a series of in-depth interviews with leading economists and
policy-makers from different schools including Austrian,
Monetarist, New-Keynesian, Post-Keynesian, Modern Monetary Theory,
Marxist and Institutionalist, this intriguing book sheds light upon
the behaviour of economists and the sociology of the economics
profession by enabling economists to express their views on a wide
range of issues. Exploring why the aftermath of the 2008 global
financial crisis did not pave the way for an uptake in heterodox
economic approaches, these key thinkers consider why mainstream
economics still reigns supreme and explore whether an alternative
approach can be developed to rival it. The most important issues
facing the discipline are addressed, and the book offers a
particular focus upon the extent to which radical economists can
work together to provide a genuine alternative to orthodoxy. The
analytical responses to important questions posed to each
interviewee make this a critical read for practising economists
both inside and outside of academia. It will also be a
thought-provoking book for economics students focusing both on
orthodox and heterodox viewpoints, as it offers important insights
to the nuances between a vast range of different schools of
thought.
Providing an up-to-date account of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)
with contributions from the world's leading experts, each chapter
offers new insights on the topic, building upon MMT's established
body of work. This innovative book analyses key economic issues
from a wide set of regions including the UK, Europe and the Global
South, addressing previous concerns that MMT is too US-focused.
Alongside ground-breaking research written by MMT's original
developers and leading academics, the book also includes
contributions from economic historians and public policy
campaigners, highlighting how MMT contributes to challenging
neoliberalism and the hegemony of mainstream macroeconomics.
Offering an examination of the existing legal, institutional and
policy framework which governs the UK Exchequer in particular, it
examines how the central claims of MMT map onto the financial
activities of the UK government. This will be key reading for
undergraduate and postgraduate economics students, as well as more
advanced scholars of the discipline, particularly for those looking
into theories of finance, money and banking. It will also have a
wider appeal across the social sciences, including politics and
sociology students.
