Rezensionen

"This is an exceptional book and a touchstone for all future thinking about economics and social change. Sayer manages an extraordinary balancing act between the precepts of radical political economy and those of liberalism without ever losing his direction: the result is social theory at its best .... an innovative text in economic theory in its own right." Richard A. Walker, Professor and Chair, Department of Geography, University of California, Berkeley "Sayer's latest work deserves to reach the widest audience because its real drama lies in its exacting contribution to clear thinking over false impression." Times Higher Education Supplement "Radical Political Economy is an important scholarly and political intervention, further reinforcing Andrew Sayer's reputation beyond a strictly geographical audience."
