Why is there such a proliferation of economic discourses in literary theory, cultural studies, anti-sweatshop debates, popular music, and other areas outside the official discipline of economics? How is the economy represented in different ways by economists and non-economists?

Richard Goodwin was a pioneer in the use of mathematical tools to understand the dynamics of capitalist economies. This book contains contributions which focus on the rigorous extension of Goodwin's modelling of macro-dynamics and the micro-structures underlying them, and also research with a wider perspective related to Goodwin's vision of an integrated Marx-Keynes-Schumpeter (M-K-S) system of the dynamics of capitalist economies.

In recent years there has been a growing dissatisfaction with standard economic theorizing which has fostered the development of alternative ways of understanding how economies actually work. Too often though, these approaches have been developed in isolation, or even in opposition to each other. This work demonstrates that the different heterodox approaches to economics have much to learn from each other. Economists working within different paradigms, including post-Keynesian, Marxism and neo-Ricardian economics address a wide range of issues in methodology, the history of economics, theory...

Mainstream neoclassical economics tells us that money is essentially a commodity, has no other social meanings or consequences, and (therefore) exists only as a medium of exchange to lubricate/facilitate barter. This book takes the view that money is definitively a social relation between private persons or legal persons. As such, it is one of the main building blocks of the complex structure of social relations of capitalism itself.

There is a common view among many economists that one model is capable of explaining a specific type of behaviour in all cultural environments. It is only necessary to make appropriate adjustments to bring the model in line with prevailing cultural conditions. This book argues that such an approach can lead to error, in particular to incorrect explanation and understanding of the phenomenon in question, and therefore may result in inappropriate policy recommendations.
Katzner's fascinating book compares the two cultures of Japan and USA and provides insights into the economic workings...
