From £37.99

Heterodox economics challenges traditional theories by considering historical, social, and political factors. This book helps economists and students understand the complexities of the real world, exploring inequality, sustainability, and financial crises from a new perspective.

Contrary to traditional economic theories, heterodox approaches recognize the multidimensional nature of economic phenomena and acknowledge the influence of historical, psychological, social, and political factors. They address issues such as heterodox economics, income and gender inequality, environmental sustainability, financial crises, and the role of authority in shaping economic outcomes and offer a broader perspective for understanding the complexity of economic systems and their impact on human well-being.

The book aims to help economists and economics students who want to critically examine the hypothetical presuppositions of traditional economics and to understand the complexities of the economic world more deeply understand the basic principles of heterodox economics and offer a new perspective in the discipline of economics. In the book, 23 academics working in different disciplines came together and contributed to 16 chapters with different perspectives. Each chapter aims to provide a scientific and original contribution to the literature by addressing different aspects of heterodox economics within the framework of its discipline.
