Publisher's Synopsis
The central purpose of this book is to provide a synthetic and sympathetic treatment of radical political economy. The approaches to economic analysis which are included within the label of radical political economy have, like any other approach, distinctive views of the nature of economic analysis and focus on a range of questions which their practitioners believe to be of importance. The intention is to focus on the positive and constructive aspects of radical political economy, in search for understanding and explanation of the economies of the real world. While there are places at which critical remarks are made of the orthodox neo-classical economics, the central aim of this book is to be constructive rather than merely critical.
