  • New Approaches to Monetary Theory

    Interdisciplinary Perspectives

    Edited by Heiner Ganssmann ...
    Series series Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking
    Everybody uses money every day, but we rarely stop to think about how money works.

  • Capital as Power

    A Study of Order and Creorder

    Series series RIPE Series in Global Political Economy
    Conventional theories of capitalism are mired in a deep crisis: after centuries of debate, they are still unable to tell us what capital is. Liberals and Marxists both think of capital as an ‘economic’ entity that they count in universal units of ‘utils’ or ‘abstract labour’, respectively. But these units are totally fictitious. Nobody has ever been able to observe or measure them, and for a good ... Read more

  • Unemployment, Inequality and Poverty in Urban China

    Edited by Hiroshi Sato, Shi Li ...

    Although the Chinese economy is growing at a very high rate, there are massive social dislocations arising as a result of economic restructuring. Though the scale of the problem is huge, very few studies have examined the changes in income inequality in the late 1990s due to a lack of data on household incomes.Based on extensive original research, this book redresses this imbalance, examining the ...

  • The Revolution That Never Was

    by Will Hutton ...
    Will Hutton argues that Keynesian revolution has yet to take place. Economists, he finds, have not yet come to terms with the heart of Keynes' argument: that there are limits to what prices can do in a market economy. But referring closely to Keynes' writings, Hutton demonstrates that Keynes was concerned to show how the financial sector of the economy originated and how it reinforced the ... Read more
