Reviews

'There will be an increasing demand for books like this' -- Richard Wilkinson, co-author of The Spirit Level 'The only economics text that can help students make sense of today's world of ongoing economic and ecological crises' -- Steve Keen, author of Debunking Economics

The news today is dominated by inter-related economic and ecological crises, and economic theory should enable you to better understand both. Conventional economic textbooks take far too narrow an approach to help here. Reardon, Madi and Cato's text is the exception that embeds economics in society and ecology and enables these complex interacting problems to be properly appreciated. -- Professor Steve Keen, author of Debunking Economics
