Growth and Development in the Global Political Economy
This intriguing book uses a 'social structures of accumulation' approach to address the big questions in political economy, and will be of interest to historians, political economists and macroeconomists.
Marx, Veblen, and Contemporary Institutional Political Economy
O'Hara (economics, Curtin U. of Technology, Australia) uses an institutional-evolutionary approach to analyze economic problems associated with developments in capitalism during the second half of the 20th century. Arguing that economics should center on institutions as the durable fabric of the economy over time, he traces the lineages of institutional themes and considers feminist, post-Keynesian, holistic-economic, and Schumpeterian perspectives. He then explores the nature of institutions in the growth and instability of capitalism with reference to social structures of accumulation. He concludes that the evolution of modern capitalism is likely to remain unstable. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
Encyclopedia of Political Economy: L-Z
This groundbreaking Encyclopedia is the very first fully-refereed A-Z compendium of the main principles, concepts, problems, institutions, schools and policies associated with political economy. Based on developments in political economy since the 1960s, it is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field as well as being an authoritative reference work. Undergraduates taking courses in political economy or graduate students coming to the field for the first time will rely on this work as a key point of reference and for direction in their further reading. This lucid work compares for the first time the disparate theories of political economy (e.g, Marxist, Feminist, Sraffian etc.) and emphasizes the application of their principles to real world problems such as inflation, unemployment, development and financial instability. The extensive international team of consultants and contributors has produced a monumental work with truly global perspective.

Growth and Development in the Global Political Economy
Recent institutional changes have seen the increasing dominance of globalization and neoliberalism in the world economy. As markets have been deregulated, privatization and unproductive government spending have been promoted. Yet the greater volatility of capitals, the emergence of many financial crises, a decline in trust, and environmental problems have cast doubt on the effectiveness of neoliberal globalization. This book studies the impact of neoliberal globalization on growth and development in the world economy. It scrutinizes whether new social structures of accumulation or modes of regulation have emerged to promote long-term socioeconomic performance in the global economy during the...
Principles of Institutional and Evolutionary Political Economy
This is the very first book to explicitly both detail the core general principles of institutional and evolutionary political economy and also apply the principles to current world problems such as the coronavirus crisis, climate change, corruption, AI-Robotics, policy-governance, money and financial instability, terrorism, AIDS-HIV and the nurturance gap. No other book has ever detailed explicitly such core principles and concepts nor ever applied them explicitly to numerous current major problems. The core general principles and concepts in this book, which are outlined and detailed include historical specificity & evolution; hegemony & uneven development; circular & cumulative causation; ...

The Values of Economics
With an aim to bring caring back into economic theory, this work draws upon the work of Aristotle and Amartya Sen's notions of capability and commitment, to propose an alternative methodology to utilitarianism that is not normative.
The Measurement of Individual Well-Being and Group Inequalities
Although most traditional economic theory puts the individual at the centre of analysis, more recent approaches have acknowledged the importance of a wider sense of identity as a determinant of individual behaviour. Whether it is ethnicity, religion or gender, group membership is a central part of human life. This book presents new advances in areas which consider both the individual and the group when measuring inequalities and well-being. The first part of the book covers topics such as relative deprivation and happiness, domains where even economists have now recognized the importance of reference groups in the assessment of individuals’ well-being. The second part is devoted to the con...
