Post-Crash Economics

Robert Skidelsky is a Professor Emeritus of Political Economy at Warwick University, a fellow of the British Academy in history and economics and a member of the British House of Lords.

He and others are redefining how we will think about economics - I hope.

According to an article by him in Project Syndicate, “Less noticed, because less obviously political, are today’s intellectual rumblings, of which French economist Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century, a withering indictment of growing inequality, is the latest manifestation.”

“The deeper message is that mainstream economics is in fact an ideology – the ideology of the free market.”

The links should keep thinking folk going for months.
