Feminist economics critically analyzes both economic theory and economic life through the lens of gender, and advocates various forms of feminist economic transformation. In this course, we will explore this exciting and self-consciously political and transformative field. 2015 Level: leicht Feminist Economics Professor Julie Matthaei (Wellesley College) Wellesley College The complex economic problems of the 21st century require a pluralist, real-world oriented and innovative discipline of economics that is capable of addressing and teaching these issues to students. This volume is a state-of-the-art compilation of diverse, innovative and international perspectives on the rationales for and pathways towards pluralist economics teaching. 2018 Level: mittel Advancing Pluralism in Teaching Economics Samuel Decker, Wolfram Elsner, Svenja Flechtner Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group This book provides a new methodological approach to money and macroeconomics. Realizing that the abstract equilibrium models lacked descriptions of fundamental issues of a modern monetary economy, the focus of this book lies on the (stylized) balance sheets of the main actors. Money, after all, is born on the balance sheets of the central bank or commercial bank. 2017 Level: leicht Modern Monetary Theory and European Macroeconomics Dirk H. Ehnts Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group John Harvey's accessible book provides a non-technical yet rigorous introduction to various schools of thought in economics.

Harvey Edward Elgar Publishing This collection of previously published and new papers is a major intervention in the on-going debate about the nature and future of economics.

They are recruiting subjects in the field rather than in the classroom, using field goods rather than induced valuations, and using field context rather than abstract terminology in instructions. 2004 Level: leicht Field Experiments in Economics Harrison, Glenn W.; Carpenter, Jeffrey P.; List, John A.

Tony Lawson has become a major figure of intellectual controversy on the back of juxtaposing two relatively simple and seemingly innocuous ideas. He has argued firstly that success in science depends on finding and using methods, including modes of reasoning, appropriate to the nature of the phenomena being studied, and also that there are important differences between the nature of the objects of study of natural sciences and those of social science. 2009 Level: mittel Ontology and Economics Edward Fullbrook Routledge This is an important contribution that defends the importance of heterodox economics.

Foldvary Edward Elgar

Best-selling books such as Freakonomics and The Undercover Economist have paved the way for the flourishing economics-made-fun genre. While books like these present economics as a strong and explanatory science, the ongoing economic crisis has exposed the shortcomings of economics to the general public. 2015 Level: mittel Economics Made Fun N. Emrah Aydinonat, Jack J. Vromen Routledge Economics, Culture and Social Theory examines how culture has been neglected in economic theorising and considers how economics could benefit by incorporating ideas from social and cultural theory. 2009 Level: mittel Economics, Culture and Social Theory William A. Jackson Edward Elgar Publishing The book is offered, in the first instance, to students who are beginners in economics, but some parts of it may be of wider interest. The three topics, Economic Doctrines, Analysis and Modern Problems, might be the subject of concurrent courses or they may be studied consecutively. 1973 Level: leicht An Introduction to Modern Economics Robinson, Joan; Eatwell, John Maidenhead McGraw-Hill Despite some diversification modern economics still attracts a great deal of criticism. This is largely due to highly unrealistic assumptions underpinning economic theory, explanatory failure, poor policy framing, and a dubious focus on prediction. Many argue that flaws continue to owe much of their shortcomings to neoclassical economics. 2015 Level: leicht What is Neoclassical Economics? Morgan, Jamie Routledge
