Beyond the Invisible Hand: Groundwork for a New Economics Paperback - 2016
by Kaushik Basu
From the rear cover
"Deftly, with the carefully chosen anecdote, and the sparing but subtle thought experiment, Kaushik Basu again and again dispels the myth that the invisible hand of free markets leads to the best of all possible worlds--indeed, often far from it. With great wisdom, Beyond the Invisible Hand describes the frequently shocking consequences of the free markets of modern economic theory; it also sets the agenda for where that theory needs to go next."--George A. Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics and coauthor of Animal Spirits and Identity Economics
"In this remarkable tour de force, Kaushik Basu scrutinizes the foundational assumptions of economics and asks new and important questions. In his quest for a better and more equitable society, Basu leaves no room for complacency. This thought-provoking book will generate debate in the economics profession and beyond."--Justin Yifu Lin, chief economist, World Bank
"Beyond the Invisible Hand poses a fundamental challenge to the way that economists think about many of the most important issues of economic theory and policy. Written for both economists and educated laymen, the book lays out a new vision for economics, one that will stimulate the reader to rethink current practice and give deeper consideration to issues often slighted in contemporary economic analysis. While the reader may not always agree with Basu's prescriptions, the importance of his contribution to the debate over the future of economics cannot be ignored."--Steven G. Medema, University of Colorado, Denver
"With standard economic perspectives under question, the need for alternative perspectives is great. Eminently readable and timely, this book is appropriate for general readers and professional economists."--Arjo Klamer, Erasmus University
