Examining the astonishing events that led to China’s transformation from a close socialist economy to an invincible manufacturing powerhouse of the global economy, How China Became Capitalist argues that the impact of events that led China to become capitalist could not have been predicted. From death of Mao to China’s market reform and move to capitalism under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party, How China Became Capitalist controversially argues that China’s growth potential will be inhibited in future without a vibrant market in ideas.

Money is an important instrument of calculation: as a unit of account and means of payment, it serves the purpose of exchange. Yet, it is increasingly becoming itself an object of exchange and calculation on financial markets, which tend less to the production and exchange of real goods.

How Unenlightened Self Interest Undermined Democracy and Corrupted Capitalism

Edited by Edward J. López, Research Fellow, Independent Institute, USA; Professor of Law and Economics, San Jose State University, USA

The Pursuit of Justice is a realistic yet hopeful analysis of how the law works in practice rather than in theory.

Keynes Betrayed The General Theory, the Rate of Interest and ‘Keynesian’ Economics Geoff Tily, Government Economic Service and HM Treasury, UK

'...such an important book...not merely another book on the history of Keynes’s monetary thought. It provides compelling evidence of where ‘Keynesians’ of all shades have gone wrong and simultaneously provides them with the ammunition to generalize what passes for modern monetary theory and macroeconomics. It enables macroeconomists to put Keynes back into Keynesian economics.’ - Colin Rogers, University of Adelaide, Australia This book argues that Keynesian economists have betrayed Keynes’ theory and policy conclusions, and that the world has been misled about those policies. Keynesians have focused attention on policies for dealing with effects of economic failure as they arise, whereas Keynes was concerned with the cause and then the prevention of economic failure.

Experimental and Behavioural Economics

Decision-Making A Behavioral Economic Approach Michal Skořepa, Professor of Economics, Charles University, Czech Republic

Minding the Markets An Emotional Finance View of Financial Instability David Tuckett, Visiting Professor, Psychoanalysis Unit, University College London, UK

‘Minding the Markets is a real contribution...a book the world really needs.’ - George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate and American Economist ‘Read this book if you want to understand the behaviour of financial markets.’ - Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England ‘A treasure trove of pathbreaking and as yet unexplored ideas.’ - Dennis J. Snower, President, Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Germany ‘This book by a psycho-analyst is one of the most original and thought-provoking analyses of the current financial crisis and the emotional underpinnings of financial market behaviour.’ Andrew Sheng, Chief Adviser to the China Banking Regulatory Commission, Adjunct Professor, Tsinghua University, Beijing and former Chairman of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong In this groundbreaking book, Tuckett argues that most economists’ explanations of the financial crisis miss its essence; they ignore critical components of human psychology. He offers a deeper understanding of financial market behaviour and investment processes by recognizing the role played by unconscious needs and fears in all investment activity

'This book thoroughly describes and discusses important behavioural models of individual economic decision making. It will be useful to students and researchers within economics and related social sciences who wish to understand the many important results and insights from this exciting research area.' - Anders Poulsen, Lecturer in Economics, School of Economics, University of East Anglia, UK Decision-Making provides a broad survey of the field of decision-making from the perspective of the economics researcher.

Pierre Lemieux, Research Fellow, The Independent Institute; Professor of Economics, University of Québec, Canada; co-chairman, Groupe de Recherche Économie et Liberté

'Lemieux argues that the government’s clumsy and ill-considered attempts to control market outcomes have often been at the heart of economic instability, and that the recent subprime crisis is a telling example of the costs of risky interventionism into the financial system. People who find that argument surprising may be even more surprised by how much their horizons will be broadened by reading this book.' - Charles Calomiris, Henry Kaufman Professor of Financial Institutions, Columbia University Graduate School of Business, USA

'The current financial crisis has thrown the inadequacies of much standard analysis, and not least the mechanical multiplier model of money creation, into sharp relief. Never has a text on monetary economics based on a more realistic model in which banks create money been more needed. Bain and Howells focus on monetary policy, and in particular the control of short term interest rates, and introduce monetary theory as a means of understanding how, why and when monetary policy works. This is theory with a purpose.' - Richard Jackman, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK March 2009 Paperback

Economics of Development

Edited by Momoko Kawakami, Deputy Director, Technological Innovation and Economic Growth Studies Group, Inter-disciplinary Studies Centre, Institute of Developing Economies, (JETRO), Japan and Timothy J. Sturgeon, Senior Research Affiliate, Industrial Performance Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA

Theory and Evidence 9th edition

A.P. Thirlwall, Professor of Applied Economics, University of Kent, UK

‘For students and teachers who want an authoritative, comprehensive, balanced and analytically-rigorous guide to the subject of development economics, there is no need to look any further. Thirlwall’s book...has matured gracefully over the years but also maintains the freshness of youth, covering not only the classic themes of development economics...but also currently-fashionable ideas about institutions and development, new growth theory, and debates on globalization.’ - Amitava Dutt, Professor of Economics and Political Science, University of Notre Dame, USA 'With a new and more accurate title, Economics of Development provides thorough coverage of the major issues and theories in an easy to read style. The core equations for important models are clearly explained and illustrated with diagrams and recent data. Chapter 5 on 'Theories of Economic Growth' exemplifies the style: a history and exposition of theories from Adam Smith to the most recent growth diagnostics....This will be a valuable textbook for lecturers and students.' - Oliver Morrissey, School of Economics, University of Nottingham, UK The ninth edition of Thirlwall’s Economics of Development (formerly Growth and Development) represents the most thorough revision of this classic textbook to date. For nearly forty years, it has offered students a clear, comprehensive and rigorous overview of the economic aspects of growth and development. Contents: PART I: DEVELOPMENT AND UNDERDEVELOPMENT / PART II: FACTORS IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS / PART III: THE PERPETUATION OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT / PART: IV THE ROLE OF THE STATE, THE ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES, AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT / PART V: FINANCING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT / PART VI: INTERNATIONAL TRADE, THE BALANCE OF PAYMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT

LABOUR ECONOMICS

Regulating for Decent Work New Directions in Labour Market Regulation Edited by Sangheon Lee, Research and Policy Co-ordinator, ILO, Switzerland and Deirdre McCann, Senior Lecturer, University of Manchester, UK

'Regulating the labour market is a distortion for some, a panacea for others. This book provides the ingredients for those who wish to transcend simple positions. Drawing on empirical, inter-disciplinary and comparative perspectives, this unique collection of essays establishes the moral and economic case for regulation, identifies the circumstances that make regulation effective, and reveals the gap between ‘law on the books’ and ‘law in action’. It is a significant resource for scholars and policy-makers who are engaged in thinking about regulation as part of a just market regime.' - Guy Mundlak, Tel-Aviv University, Israel Regulating for Decent Work is a response to the dominant deregulatory approaches that have shaped labour market regulation in recent years. The inter-disciplinary and international approach invigorates current debates through the identification of new challenges, subjects and perspectives.

Che Guevara The Economics of Revolution Helen Yaffe, ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow, Institute for the Study of the Americas, University of London, UK

'Che Guevara, whose unorthodox economic philosophy has recently been uncovered in a brilliant book by Helen Yaffe, Che Guevara: The Economics of Revolution...' - Richard Gott, The Guardian ‘This is really an excellent study. I suspect that few ‘bourgeois’ economists would be even slightly persuaded by Yaffe’s arguments, much less Guevara’s, but considered as a monograph, Yaffe’s book is exhaustively researched, interesting, coherent, well-organized and written, novel, and, frankly, quite provocative in places.’ - Richard J. Salvucci, Economic History Review Che Guevara remains an iconic figure, four decades after his death. Yet his most significant contribution - his work as a member of the Cuban government - is rarely discussed. This book explores his impact on Cuba’s economy, through fascinating archival material and interviews.

‘This is an excellent book that goes beyond being a textbook. It is a contribution in synthesizing issues in methodology of economics.’ - Sohrab Behdad, Professor and John E. Harris Chair in Economics, Denison University, USA Like other sciences, the study of economics has been shaped by rigorous arguments and debates that continue to influence economists today. In this fascinating introduction, Boumans and Davis consider the scientific nature of the methods, logic, and forms of explanation that underlie economics as a discipline.

HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT

John Kenneth Galbraith

Great Thinkers in Economics Series

James Ronald Stanfield, Professor of Economics, Colorado State University, USA and Jacqueline Bloom Stanfield, Emerita Professor and Chair of Sociology, University of Northern Colorado, USA

Series Editor: A.P. Thirlwall The famous historian, E.H. Carr once said that in order to understand history it is necessary to understand the historian writing it. The same could be said of economics. Famous economists often remark that specific episodes in their lives, or particular events that took place in their formative years attracted them to economics. This new series Great Thinkers in Economics is designed to illuminate the economics of some of the great historical and contemporary economists by exploring the interaction between their lives and work, and the events surrounding them.

Joseph A. Schumpeter A Theory of Social and Economic Evolution Esben Sloth Andersen, Associate Professor of Economics, Aalborg University, Denmark

This book examines Schumpeter’s dramatic theory of social and economic evolution as the pivot of his life and work, resolving apparent paradoxes and clarifying Schumpeter’s challenges to economists and other social scientists.

This book examines the life and work of John Kenneth Galbraith, a truly iconic figure in progressive modern liberalism and a seminal influence in the rise of heterodox political economy. It emphasizes his continuing relevance to the current research of today, and to the multifaceted crisis of democratic capitalism. Contents: Preface / Political Economy and the Useful Economist / Political Economy in Agriculture / Political Economy and the Art of Controversy / The Political Economy of Affluence / The Political Economy of the Great / Political Economy and the Public Purpose / Political Economy in the Conservative Hour / Political Economy and the Galbraithian Legacy / Conclusion / References / Index December 2010 264pp Hardback £65.00

A Moral Philosopher and His Political Economy Gavin Kennedy, Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University, UK

This book presents the authentic Adam Smith and explores his underlying approach and radical thinking, aiming to re-establish his original intentions.

'Accessible and comprehensive as it is innovative, this is a splendid introduction and one truly crafted for our times. Its clarity of exposition and extensive use of illustrative materials bring global politics to life. And its novel combination of the great traditions of international relations theory with a more multidisciplinary approach provides students with the tools necessary to understand the complex forces shaping the twenty-first century world.' - Tony McGrew, University of Strathclyde, UK 'An excellent starting point for anyone wanting their students to think critically and creatively about twenty-first century global politics. Combining meaningful engagement with key global issues...with nuanced coverage of traditional international relations concerns... it is the most comprehensive, theoretically and historically-informed introductory text available.' - Jacqui True, University of Auckland, New Zealand 'Excellent! A first-rate text which I look forward to using in class. Rich in themes, comprehensive in scope and beautifully woven together with illuminating theoretical threads, it introduces IR but also moves beyond and its innovative lay-out will fire students’ imagination.' - Torbjørn L. Knutsen, University of Trondheim (NTNU), Norway
