Abstract

The third edition of The Foundations of Real-World Economics updates the two earlier editions published by Routledge, including new chapters on the rise of populism, hidden racism, and the Covid-19 pandemic. The earlier editions were translated into five languages.

Within the vast economic literature, the book opens alternative research horizons, providing an innovative look at economic theory which advocates for a major revision of seemingly immutable mainstream economics.
