This book presents a sustained inquiry into the ways economic life is shaped by political authority, social conflict and institutional design. Through a sequence of questions that build progressively in scope and complexity, it examines how markets emerge, how states regulate and redistribute, how global interdependence reshapes national choices, and how ideas, interests and institutions interact to produce divergent developmental paths. The approach taken throughout is deliberately reflective and analytical, treating political economy not as a technical science but as a field in which competing visions of justice, efficiency and sovereignty continuously collide.
By moving from foundational themes—property rights, welfare regimes, corruption, labour–capital relations—to the large-scale transformations driven by globalisation, financial integration, demographic shifts and climate change, the book offers a coherent narrative of how modern economies operate within constraints that are at once material and political. Each chapter explores the historical evolution of key concepts, the forces that have shaped policy trajectories, and the tensions that arise when societies attempt to reconcile prosperity with fairness and autonomy with openness.
The result is a portrait of political economy as an ongoing negotiation rather than a finished model, one in which institutions matter, distributional conflicts matter, and collective expectations matter. It is an invitation to view the economy not as a neutral mechanism but as a political settlement that must be continually interpreted, adjusted and defended in response to shifting global pressures and domestic demands.
