Reviews
The financial crisis alerted the public to what some insiders have known for decades: mainstream economic ideas are seriously flawed. Chernomas and Hudson lay bare both the ideas and the equally flawed individuals behind them, from Milton Friedman to the ex- Maestro Alan Greenspan. -- Professor Steve Keen, author of Debunking Economics (Zed Books, 2011)
'In lucid and accessible prose, The Profit Doctrine shows how the post-war evolution of economic ideas has systematically favoured the profitability of big business over the interests of everyday people.' -- Gary Dymski, Professor and Chair in Applied Economics, Leeds University Business School 'The financial crisis alerted the public to what some insiders have known for decades: mainstream economic ideas are seriously flawed.

Chernomas and Hudson provide a step-by-step explanation of how highly abstract models and methods have provided intellectual cover for policies that have led both to increasing inequality and to profound economic crises. -- Gary Dymski, Professor and Chair in Applied Economics, Leeds University Business School
