Modern Consumer Theory
Professor Lancaster has made a major contribution to consumer theory. His work on the consumer's decision-making process has been particularly influential. This coherent thematic selection of his most important recent essays, some of which are published here for the first time, reflect the major features of Professor Lancaster's work. The essays form a unified collection on consumer choice and product variety and will be essential reading for any economist with an interest in the most recent developments in modern microeconomics.

Political Economy, Ideology, and the Impact of Economics on the Third World
This work examines the practical impact of economics and economic ideology on the Third World. Gondwe argues that the scientific and technical veil covering economics reduces its capacity to affect current and future economic problems. Further, by attempting to shed itself of its ideological underpinnings, economics--particularly neoclassical economics--is running the risk of becoming socially irrelevant. The author concludes that economics as it is now being practiced is inadequate to deal with real-world problems because its assumptions and methods bias it toward intellectual games and away from solutions to social problems. Economics, he argues, should return to the political economy it was before it was reduced to a mere study of markets, and the reintegration of economics into political economy should focus upon people, not wealth, as the subject and object of all economic activity. This important work flies in the face of conventional economic wisdom and will be of interest to scholars in economics, political economy, political science, and economic history.
Political Science Quarterly

How Economics Professors Can Stop Failing Us
This book provides an eye-opening exposé on economics professors that will surely shock anyone who is not familiar with the topic, and even some of those who are familiar with it. It is critical of the behavior of economics professors, but is not critical of the field of economics itself. In fact, the book argues that it is essential for economics professors to improve in the work they perform, precisely because of the vital importance of their field. Other books that criticize economics professors typically present complex arguments that interest only the most advanced scholars. However, this book is completely different. It is written to be understandable to anyone who has with an interes...
Climate Change and Society
This book explores the significance of human behaviour to understanding the causes and impacts of changing climates and to assessing varied ways of responding to such changes. So far the discipline that has represented and modelled such human behaviour is economics. By contrast Climate Change and Society tries to place the ‘social’ at the heart of both the analysis of climates and of the assessment of alternative futures. It demonstrates the importance of social practices organised into systems. In the fateful twentieth century various interlocking high carbon systems were established. This sedimented high carbon social practices, engendering huge population growth, increasing greenhouse...
Cities
This book develops a fresh and challenging perspective on the city. Drawing on a wide and diverse range of material and texts, it argues that too much contemporary urban theory is based on nostalgia for a humane, face-to-face and bounded city. Amin and Thrift maintain that the traditional divide between the city and the rest of the world has been perforated through urban encroachment, the thickening of the links between the two, and urbanization as a way of life. They outline an innovative sociology of the city that scatters urban life along a series of sites and circulations, reinstating previously suppressed areas of contemporary urban life: from the presence of non-human activity to the centrality of distant connections. The implications of this viewpoint are traced through a series of chapters on power, economy and democracy. This concise and accessible book will be of interest to students and scholars in sociology, geography, urban studies, cultural studies and politics. .
