Ethical Codes and Income Distribution
In contemporary non-mainstream economic debate, it is widely thought that the functioning of a market economy needs a set of rules (i.e. institutions) which bind agents in their behaviour, allowing efficient outcomes. This idea is contrary to the General Equilibrium Model (GEM) where markets are pictured as working in an institutional vacuum and where social and historical variables play no role. However, in more recent times, a large group of economists have begun to insert social and moral variables into standard models based on the rational choice paradigm, following the increasing interest – on the part of firms – in the possible positive effects of adopting ethical codes. In this ke...
Elgar Encyclopedia of Post-Keynesian Economics
This Encyclopedia is an invaluable reference book for post-Keynesian and heterodox economics. It consists of 300 entries, written by 180 different authors. The volume includes entries on key concepts of interest to post-Keynesians as well as descriptions of some of the seminal books in the post-Keynesian tradition. It will interest both students and scholars of heterodox economics, as well as policy makers around the world looking for a better alternative to mainstream economic policies at national and international levels in the aftermath of the global financial crisis that burst in 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic crisis that began in 2020.
The Global Economic Crisis
Why did the economists of the so-called "mainstream" seem to fail to foresee the global economic crisis that exploded in 2008? And why do they appear to have difficulty in putting forward an interpretation of it that is consistent with the theoretical foundations of their models? These two questions have echoed insistently since the outbreak of the crisis, not only in academic circles but also in the mass media, and appear to reflect increasingly widespread dissatisfaction with the dominant paradigm of economic theory. Many believe that the global recession now underway may constitute an historic watershed for the evolution of economics and therefore that an authentic change of paradigm is c...
New Contributions to Monetary Analysis
This book sheds light on some of the most recent developments in monetary analysis which offer a theoretical framework for a renewed monetary approach and related policy extensions. It points to recent research on what a consistent and broad-scope monetary theory could be based in the twenty-first century. It highlights new interpretations of monetary theory as put forth by some leading economists since the eighteenth century and new developments in the analysis of current monetary issues.
A me piace il Sud
Un libro onesto, crudo nella disanima dei problemi e coraggioso nel proporre soluzioni. Non ci sono altre parole per definire questo saggio. I due autori ci raccontano il Sud per come è. Non imbrogliano quando spiegano, per esempio, che le organizzazioni mafiose vengono spesso viste da molti cittadini non come nemiche, ma come soggetti in grado di sostituirsi a uno Stato che non c’è. Non fingono quando raccontano come il nostro Mezzogiorno abbia bisogno non tanto o non solo di investimenti, ma di una classe politica in grado di non rubare e di immaginare un futuro diverso. In A me piace il Sud le straordinarie opportunità offerte da queste regioni vengono elencate tutte. Questo libro indica una strada. Conviene a tutti pensare di seguirla.
