Readers’ Comments: This book is an effort to bring economics back to reality. Given the influence that economists often have on public policy, this is an important task. Dean Baker, Centre for Economic and Policy Research, Washington Dean Baker, Centre for Economic and Policy Research, Washington This book should be required reading for students taking economic classes and for heterodox economists who want to create a better economics. David F. Ruccio, Professor of Economics & Policy Studies, University of Notre Dame Promises to reshape contemporary economic discourse to the benefit of students, professors, activists, and citizens of the world. Frederic S. Lee, University of Missouri-Kansas City This book is must reading for anyone who wants to break out of the mathematical dream world of most contemporary economics. Unbeknownst to most economists and their followers in Washington, there has been an intellectual revolt brewing for several years. The pieces in this book cover a wide range of subjects, from philosophical questions to practical policy, and are written to be accessible to the educated non-economist. Because they run the gamut from left to right to center, no reader will agree with them all, but they eloquently demonstrate the breadth and intellectual sophistication of the post-autistic movement. Some may complain that this single book doesn't overthrow the entire discipline of economics and erect a complete alternative theory. But that kind of work will take decades, and one has to begin somewhere. No education in economics is complete without this book.
