Critical Political Economy: Complexity, Rationality, and the Logic of Post-Ortho

Description: Critical Political Economy by Christian Arnsperger Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This bold and ambitious book attempts to diagnose and remedy what is wrong with economics, so that it can become an emancipatory form of knowledge. It will be of interest to serious economists and philosophers of social science everywhere. Publisher Description This book asks how a more liberating economics could be constructed and taught. It suggests that if economists today are serious about emancipation and empowerment, they will have to radically change their conception about what it means for a citizen to act rationally in a complex society.Arnsperger emphasises that current economics neglects an important fact: Many of us ask not only whats in it for us, within a given socio-economic context; we also care about the context itself. The author argues that if citizens keen on exercising their critical reason actually demanded economic theories that allowed them to do so, economics would have to become a constantly emerging, open-ended knowledge process. He claims that in a truly free economy, there would be no all-out war between orthodox and heterodox approaches, but an intricate and unpredictable post-orthodox pluralism that would emerge from the citizens own complex interactions.Offering an original and path-breaking combination of insights from Hayek, the theory of complexity, and the Frankfurt School of social criticism, Arnsperger discusses how such a free economy would generate its specific brand of economics, called Critical Political Economy Author Biography Christian Arnsperger Details ISBN 0415446309 ISBN-13 9780415446303 Title Critical Political Economy Author Christian Arnsperger Format Hardcover Year 2007 Pages 352 Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd GE_Item_ID:13672658; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
