Opis

This book develops a new conception of political economy at the interface of economic theory and political thought. Political economy is constituted by the interdependence between the economy and the polity that rest on the complex relations of society in which both are embedded. Effective policymaking depends on reflecting this embedding.

Recenzje

'There is a growing sense that economics urgently requires a turn towards political economy if it is to deal with the pressing policy issues facing society. Adrian Pabst and Roberto Scazzieri set out a new political economy framework which emphasises the complex, evolving and multi-layered interdependencies between the economy, the polity and society. This erudite contribution provides a solid basis for the constructive integration of economic and political theory.' Sheila Dow, University of Stirling
