La investigación universitaria en economía social en España
Cooperativas de trabajo asociado, agrarias y sociales, sociedades laborales, ssociaciones, fundaciones, ONGs... son las principales manifestaciones de un tercer sector social en ebullición conocido como la economía social, cuya fuerte expansión en España y en el mundo en las últimas décadas no sólo ha respondido a razones de auto-organización de la sociedad civil para satisfacer sus necesidades colectivas, dadas las insuficiencias de la economía pública y de la economía privada capitalista, sino también a la voluntad de instaurar una economía más acorde con los valores de democracia real y de igualdad social. Esta realidad socioeconómica conforma un objeto de estudio de creciente atención por parte de la comunidad científica, también de la española. En este último contexto se sitúa la presente obra, la cual analiza la investigación universitaria en economía social producida en España, a través de las tesis doctorales. Incluye, también, un exhaustivo catálogo de tales tesis, que constituye una excelente herramienta para estudiar y valorar esta parte de las ciencias sociales.
Islamic Economics: Principles and Analysis
With the impressive emergence of Islamic finance as a branch of Islamic economics, the need for a solid knowledge base that encompasses theories, thoughts and applications related to the subject increased in importance. However, writing about Islamic economics is a great challenge due to the differences in opinion on many of its issues. This includes methodologies for determining the Islamic perspective on economic concepts and issues as well as applicable solutions for today’s economic and social problems. It is further argued that Islamic economics topics are not as clear as those in conventional economics as they have their own religious, spiritual and social dimensions. The points of c...
Cooperativismo, Empresa y Universidad
Con motivo del fallecimiento del P. Dionisio Aranzadi Tellería SJ, y en la conmemoración del 25 aniversario de la creación del Instituto de Estudios Cooperativos, se ha elaborado este libro homenaje. El libro está dividido en varias partes que representan las distintas áreas de trabajo académicas en las que más implicado estuvo el P. Aranzadi: por un lado, cooperativismo como un modelo de empresa con unos valores característicos; por otro lado, empresa con lo que las ideas sobre ética y liderazgo han aportado estos años; en tercer lugar, universidad como ámbito al que consagró cuarenta años de vida; por último, otras cuestiones sociales. De todo ello da cuenta esta publicación.
A Reflection on Sraffa’s Revolution in Economic Theory
This book presents a substantial collection of essays from a wide range of well respected scholars addressing several aspects of Piero Sraffa’s economics in light of continuing controversies over the interpretation that should be placed on his work. It moves beyond extant scholarship with an added emphasis on the philosophical dimension of Sraffa’s seminal work, Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities. Contributors probe new ways of thinking about the political economy of Sraffa and in doing so, alongside the comments to each contribution by other scholars, provide a cutting edge debate and discussion on non-mainstream economic theory. This book will be of interest to academics and advanced graduate students in economics, with additional interest from scholars in philosophy and the methodology of science.

What’s Wrong with Economics?
A passionate and informed critique of mainstream economics from one of the leading economic thinkers of our time This insightful book looks at how mainstream economics’ quest for scientific certainty has led to a narrowing of vision and a convergence on an orthodoxy that is unhealthy for the field, not to mention the societies which base policy decisions on the advice of flawed economic models. Noted economic thinker Robert Skidelsky explains the circumstances that have brought about this constriction and proposes an approach to economics which includes philosophy, history, sociology, and politics. Skidelsky’s clearly written and compelling critique takes aim at the way that economics is taught in today’s universities, where a focus on modelling leaves students ill-equipped to grapple with what is important and true about human life. He argues for a return to the ideal set out by John Maynard Keynes that the economist must be a “mathematician, historian, statesman, [and] philosopher” in equal measure.
