Reviews

`Jonathan Michie and his mainly northern heterodox economists offer us some powerful, refreshing and even disturbing insights into the state of contemporary globalization at precisely the moment when the current phase of (neo-liberal) globalization, arguably the third after late Victorian globalization and international Keynesianism, shudders and stutters in the wake of the uncertainties and instabilities introduced by the 2008 global financial crisis and the triumph of Trumpism in America.' -- Vishnu Padayachee, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
