Summary:
Modern economics makes much of its claims to be impartial, objective
and value-free but it is unable to address our most immediate
problems, such as widespread environmental degradation and persistent
poverty. Social Limits to Economic Theory argues for a new
progressive political economy, based on notions of community and
justice while incorporating environmental and ethical considerations.
In demonstrating that modern economics is far from being a value-free
science, Jon Mulberg sheds much light on the hidden history of
economics. Social Limits to Economics will interest anyone concerned
wit.
