Power and Neoclassical Economics - A Return to Political Economy in the Teaching of Economics

Zusatztext "In this well-written! well-presented and highly readable book! Adam Ozanne provides a thought-provoking attempt to reintroduce the lost discussion of power into mainstream economics. ? I find this an interesting! ambitious book with an intelligent rhetoric." (Heterodox Economics Newsletter! Issue 195! April! 2016) "Adam Ozanne has written a very interesting! short book on the strange absence of the concept of power from mainstream modern economics. ? I very much liked the book - ie. warmly agree with the general argument. ? I'll be thinking more about the specific means of incorporating power in economics that the book suggests; it certainly looks promising." (Diane Coyle! The Enlightened Economist! enlightenmenteconomics.com! April! 2016) Informationen zum Autor Adam Ozanne has degrees in physics and astronomy, rural development, and agricultural economics. He also began a DPhil in nuclear astrophysics but abandoned it and went instead to teach maths and physics in Pakistan and work for a Third World development agency.

Klappentext Reasserts the role of power in determining economic outcomesReviews definitions of theories and power from across the social sciencesRadically reassesses economic orthodoxy Zusammenfassung Mainstream economics almost completely ignores the role power plays in determining economic outcomes, which means it can only provide partial explanations of the distribution of wealth and income, and of the problems associated with inequality and poverty.
