Inhaltsangabe

A deep and widespread crisis affects modern economic theory, one that derives from the absence of a vision - a set of widely shared political and social preconceptions - on which all economics ultimately depends. The authors' analysis attempts both to describe this state of affairs, and to suggest the direction in which economic thinking must move if it is to regain the relevance and remedial power it now pointedly lacks.

Críticas

'Heilbroner and Milberg have written on great issues in a relatively small volume ... Their central thesis is that historical events since then have not given rise either to an all-embracing vision or, as a corollary, a dominant analytical framework and approach. The object of the book is to analyse why this crisis - their word - has arisen and to suggest what the new vision and accompanying approach should be ... the volume [is] stimulating and challenging. It reflects a shrewd understanding of the conceptual basis of the modern literature.' G. C. Harcourt, The Economic Journal
