Can we afford the future?
THE NEW ECONOMICS
Economics is changing fast. Important recent research in heterodox
traditions has shed light on some of the world’s most intractable
problems, challenging the old ways of doing things and rendering
economics more human and more real.
The New Economics
shows how economics can be used in novel
and creative ways, to resolve issues and improve conditions, not just
entrench the way things are. Covering topics as diverse as climate
change, inequality, gender, global institutions and development,
these books offer new perspectives on the pressing issues of our
time.
Short, argumentative and accessible, the books are essential
reading for a new generation of students, activists and policymakers,
as well as for people who just want to know more.
The New Economics
is edited by three internationally renowned
economists: Bina Agarwal at the Institute of Economic Growth in
India; Ha-Joon Chang at the University of Cambridge in the UK,
and Kevin Gallagher at Boston University in the USA.
