`This is a marvellous collection of essays of Jim Crotty. They are a joy to read, and provide contributions a plenty for analysing and understanding the evolution of capitalism through globalization and financialization, and developing theories alternative to the mainstream based on realistic assumptions.' -- Malcolm Sawyer, University of Leeds, UK `No one has written with greater clarity and insight about economic theory and capitalist dynamics in the past three decades than James Crotty. This collection, assembling his best papers in one place, is a must-have for established and aspirational political economists alike. There is wisdom on every page.' -- Gary Dymski, Leeds University Business School, UK `At a time when mainstream economics is being questioned across the world for its lack of relevance and inability to explain observed reality, James Crotty's work comes as a welcome reminder of how economics can be both relevant and insightful. This body of work spanning more than four decades is still fresh and topical, and essential reading for anyone who wants to understand contemporary capitalism.' -- Jayati Ghosh, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India

'Crotty's book provides solid theoretical foundations to understanding key economic topics such as growth, distribution, and instability from a heterodox perspective. The reader will have a new opportunity to rethink macroeconomic policies not only based -- on short-term operational targets but mainly as long-term systemic needs. For these reasons, this book is a valuable academic source for understanding the functioning of complex, path-dependent, crisis-prone capitalist economies.' - Juan Matias De Lucchi, Review of Keynesian Economics 'This is a marvellous collection of essays of Jim Crotty.
