Hartmut Elsenhans

Capitalism, Development and Empowerment of Labour

A Heterodox Political Economy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The neoliberal approach presents politics and political economy as nuisances which disturb the smooth operation of self-regulating markets. But political economy is not merely an academic issue â it is a class issue. This book forcefully argues that political economy should return to a central position in the study of the social sciences.
