Economics Unmasked

From power and greed to compassion and the common good

Economics Unmasked presents a cogent critique of the dominant economic system, showing that the theoretical constructions of mainstream economics work mainly to bring about injustice. This book outlines the foundations of a new economics â where justice, human dignity, compassion and reverence for life are the guiding values.
