Heterodox Macroeconomics offers a detailed understanding of the
foundations of the recent global financial crisis. The chapters,
from a selection of leading academics in the field of heterodox
macroeconomics, carry out a synthesis of heterodox ideas that place
financial instability, macroeconomic crisis, rising global
inequality and a grasp of the perverse and pernicious qualities of
global and domestic macroeconomic policy making since 1980 into a
coherent perspective. It familiarizes the reader with the emerging
unified theory of heterodox macroeconomics and its
applications.
The book is divided into four key sections: I) Heterodox
Macroeconomics and the Keynes-Marx synthesis; II) Accumulation,
Crisis and Instability; III) The Macrodynamics of the Neoliberal
Regime; and IV) Heterodox Macroeconomic Policy. The essays include
theoretical, international, historical, and country perspectives on
financial fragility and macroeconomic instability.

From the early twentieth century until the 1960s, Maine led the
nation in paper production. The state could have earned a
reputation as the Detroit of paper production, however, the
industry eventually slid toward failure. What happened? Shredding
Paper unwraps the changing US political economy since 1960,
uncovers how the paper industry defined and interacted with labor
relations, and peels away the layers of history that encompassed
the rise and fall of Maine's mighty paper industry. Michael G.
Hillard deconstructs the paper industry's unusual technological and
economic histories. For a century, the story of the nation's most
widely read glossy magazines and card stock was one of capitalism,
work, accommodation, and struggle. Local paper companies in Maine
dominated the political landscape, controlling economic, workplace,
land use, and water use policies. Hillard examines the many
contributing factors surrounding how Maine became a paper
powerhouse and then shows how it lost that position to changing
times and foreign interests. Through a retelling of labor relations
and worker experiences from the late nineteenth century up until
the late 1990s, Hillard highlights how national conglomerates began
absorbing family-owned companies over time, which were subject to
Wall Street demands for greater short-term profits after 1980. This
new political economy impacted the economy of the entire state and
destroyed Maine's once-vaunted paper industry. Shredding Paper
truthfully and transparently tells the great and grim story of
blue-collar workers and their families and analyzes how paper
workers formulated a "folk" version of capitalism's history in
their industry. Ultimately, Hillard offers a telling example of the
demise of big industry in the United States.
