Macroeconomic Theory and Its Failings: Alternative Perspectives on the Global Financial Crisis by Steven Kates

This admirable and comprehensive collection should prove of interest to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the financial crisis. Tyler Cowen, George Mason University, US The Great Crash of 2008 has raised profound questions concerning the orientation of modern economics and the adequacy of its theory. Those justifiably looking for alternatives will find this book invaluable. It contains a rich array of alternative perspectives on the crisis, and it will hopefully help stimulate the further theoretical developments that are so urgently required. Geoffrey M. Hodgson, University of Hertfordshire, UK This innovative book focuses on the current global financial crisis and the inadequacies of the economic theories being used to guide policy. In so doing, it tackles the economic theories that have been used firstly to understand its causes and thereafter to contain the damage it has brought.
