Description
Discover the compelling insights of Robert Skidelsky's groundbreaking work, 'Money and Government: The Past and Future of Economics'. This essential read challenges the dominant economic narrative that downplays the role of money and government in shaping economic outcomes. Delve deep into the historical context provided by Skidelsky, who explores the establishment of orthodox economic thinking and highlights its persistent limitations since the Great Depression. In this critical examination, Skidelsky argues that unlike the 2008 global financial crisis, which prompted fleeting Keynesian responses, no transformative policy shift has emerged to address the fundamental issues in our economic system.

Ideal for students, economists, and anyone passionate about economic theory, 'Money and Government' invites the next generation of thinkers to rethink the established doctrines and embrace a more dynamic approach to economic policy. With 512 pages of enlightening content, this paperback edition offers a comprehensive perspective that promises to reshape your understanding of economic frameworks and the essential roles that government and money play in our lives.
