Description
Radical Economics (1982) explores the major themes of radical economics. It begins by considering the shortcomings of orthodox economics, and goes on to consider how radical economics evolved. The question of Marxian economics and how this applies to crucial contemporary issues is then considered, and the book concludes by examining aspects of the Communist bloc's economic system, where radical theories are applied in practice.
