Overview
Introducing a New Economics is a groundbreaking textbook that heralds a revolution in the teaching of economics. Students and lecturers alike are rejecting the narrow curricula and lack of intellectual diversity that characterise the mainstream. They demand that the real world should be brought back into the classroom, insisting that this is the only way to confront the current crisis. With a firm commitment to theoretical, methodological and disciplinary pluralism, the renowned authors of this book challenge the current hegemony head-on. This unique textbook reflects a new ethos of economics education, highlighting sustainability and justice in its discussion of work, employment, power, capital, markets, money and debt. This volume is a work of progressive, heterodox economics that will set the standard for years to come.

Reviews
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
'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 '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
