Economics: A New Introduction
'Stretton provides a brilliant, critical and fresh look at the whole of economics. He points to the contradictions and the lack of realism in its current approaches. I cannot recommend this book too strongly.' --Paul Streeten, Boston University, founder of World Development journal 'Introduces the reader to the many different skills required in economics: analysis, a knowledge of history and institutions, philosophical concepts, quantitative precision, judgement, relevance and a sense of time and place.' --G.C. Harcourt, Cambridge University “The publication of this book is one of the most important events of the last ten years in economics. It is not a flimsy response to the stagnating orthodoxy, but a substantial quality alternative building upon solid philosophical foundations.” --Michael Keaney, Glasgow Caledonian University
