Mainstream economics almost completely ignores the role power plays in determining economic outcomes, which means it can only provide partial explanations of the distribution of wealth and income, and of the problems associated with inequality and poverty.

This book represents a new foundation for the study of microeconomics, viewed from a broad perspective that takes into account new developments at the intersections with psychology, political science, the natural sciences and philosophy.

"Despite the rediscovery of the inequality topic by economists as well as other social scientists in recent times, relatively little is known about how economic inequality is mediated to the wider public of ordinary citizens and workers. That is precisely where this book steps in: It draws on a cross-national empirical study to examine how mainstream news media discuss, respond to, and engage with such important and politically sensitive issues and trends.

Este estudio pone al descubierto lo que muchos probablemente hemos sospechado alguna vez y unos pocos economistas llevan sabiendo desde hace tiempo: la teoría económica no sólo es difícil de digerir, sino que además está sencillamente equivocada. Cuando fue publicado en 2001, la economía de mercado parecía invencible y la teoría económica "neoclásica" estaba en el candelero. Steve Keen mantuvo entonces que los economistas no merecían crédito alguno por la aparente buena marcha de las finanzas, y que la falsa confianza en la estabilidad de la economía de mercado había llevado a muchos actores políticos a desmantelar algunas instituciones creadas para mantener la inestabilidad dentro de ciertos límites. La inestabilidad se desbordó con la devastadora crisis financiera que estalló en 2007, y ahora amenaza la economía global con la perspectiva de otra depresión. En esta nueva edición, puesta al día y considerablemente ampliada, Keen lleva aún más lejos su feroz crítica de la teoría económica convencional, al tiempo que explica lo que la economía dominante no es capaz de explicar: por qué sobrevino la crisis, por qué está demostrando ser inabordable, y qué es lo que hay que hacer para ponerle fin.

Surviving the Future is a story drawn from the fertile ground of the late David Fleming's extraordinary 'Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It'. That hardback consists of four hundred and four interlinked dictionary entries, inviting readers to choose their own path through its radical vision. Recognizing that Lean Logic's sheer size and unusual structure can be daunting, Fleming's long-time collaborator Shaun Chamberlin has selected and edited one of these potential narratives to create Surviving the Future. The content, rare insights, and uniquely enjoyable writing style remain Fleming's, but are presented here at a more accessible paperback-length and in conventional read-it-front-to-back format
