Produktbeschreibung

Various strains of heterodox economics have sought, and largely failed, to dismount orthodoxy from its dominant position. Reclaiming Marx'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.

Rezensionen

"Westra's book is an impressive tour de force, engaging intensively with four separate debates and encompassing pressing issues in both economics and philosophy...This book is without a doubt a valuable and important contribution to the ever-growing body of heterodox economics."
