Presented by Kates (School of Economics, Finance and Marketing and RMIT U., Australia) the 15 papers collected here are unified only by their rejection of the standard mainstream neoclassical
macroeconomic models and their belief that these models are inadequate for understanding or addressing the global economic crisis of the late 2000s. The authors critique standard neoclassical
macroeconomic models and present their own diverse views on the subject. The following economic traditions are represented: Austrian, classical, environmental, institutionalist, Islamic,
Marxist, Minskyite, Monetarist, and Post-Keynesian. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
