A Modern Guide to State Intervention investigates the impact of the
changing role of the state, offering an alternative political
economy for the third decade of the twenty-first century. Building
on important factors including history, the role of institutions,
society and economic structures, this Modern Guide considers
economic and administrative interventions towards changing the
destabilised status quo of modern societies. Exploring a variety of
theoretical approaches, chapters offer sustainable growth-inducing
policies and proposals to address important challenges in this era
of neoliberal globalization and financialization. With key
contributions by distinguished academics in the field, the book
evaluates past efforts and policies and critiques failed
perspectives. A critical read for political economics scholars
wishing to look beyond orthodox perspectives, this book highlights
key areas of contention in modern economic policies. This will also
be a vital book for policy-makers and economists looking ahead to a
more sustainable economic atmosphere.
For most economists, 'Austrian economics' refers to a distinct
school of thought, originating with Mises and Hayek and
characterised by a strong commitment to free-market liberalism.
This innovative book explores an alternative Austrian tradition in
economics. Socialist in spirit but too diffuse to be described as a
single school of thought, it shares a common conviction that the
market, while possibly a good servant, is a very poor master.
Demonstrating how the debate on the economics of socialism began in
Austria long before the 1930s, this unique book analyses the work
and impact of many leading Austrian economists. Beginning with the
Austro-Marxist theorists Otto Bauer and Rudolf Hilferding and
moving through to the new generation of social democratic
economists, most prominently Kurt Rothschild and Josef Steindl, The
Alternative Austrian Economics provides insight into the history
and evolution of socialist economics in Austria. Offering a
previously underrepresented discussion of a century of Austrian
socialist economics, this engaging book will prove to be of great
value to Marxian and heterodox economists, historians of economic
thought and political scientists interested in political economy.

lE. King Michael Kalecki (1899-1970) was one of the most important,
and also one of the most underrated, economists of the twentieth
century. In the 1930s he made a series of fundamental contributions
to macroeconomic theory which anticipated, complemented and in some
ways surpassed those of Keynes. Almost entirely self-educated in
economics, and influenced rul much by Marxism as by mainstream
theory, Kalecki very largely escaped the fatal embrace of
pre-Keynesian orthodoxy, which blunted the thrust of the General
Theory. Many Post Keynesians, in particular, have found in his work
the elements of a convincing alternative to what Joan Robinson
-Kalecki's greatest advocate in the English-speaking world - was
scathingly to describe as 'bastard Keynesianism' . But Kalecki was
never interested in theory for its own sake. He approached
economics from a practical perspective, wrote extensively on
applied and policy questions, and in the [mal decades of his life
turned his attention increasingly to problems of economic
development and the management of state socialist economies.

The multidisciplinary edited book Visions and Strategies for a
Sustainable Economy: Theoretical and Policy Alternatives provides a
thorough examination - at the theoretical and, especially, policy
levels - of a number of key topics related to a sustainable economy
and a better society. With important contributions by distinguished
academics, the book presents alternative views, provides an
assessment of contemporary realities in an era of ecological
emergency, and offers visions, strategies, and realistic policies
towards a better economy and society while paying special attention
to a "green new deal" for different areas.
