Economics, Science and Capitalism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Various strains of heterodox economics have sought, and largely failed, to dismount orthodoxy from its dominant position. Reclaiming Marxâ s revolutionary legacy, this book critiques the criticizers, explaining why heterodox economics challenges have faltered, and then presents a coherent alternative paradigm of its own.
