Neoliberalism is dead. Again. After the election of Trump and the victory of Brexit in 2016, many diagnosed the demise of the ideology of Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Augusto Pinochet, and the WTO.

Introduction to Political Economy
Economics should schematically explain the key elements and main strands of this core part of social life: the actual workings of our economies.

Standard economics models do not address the real functioning of our market economies, but rather an imagined economy.
