Significant challenge to economic orthodoxy, July 15, 2001
This review is from: Humanistic Economics: The New Challenge (Paperback)
Wonderful challenge to orthodoxy of "the dismal science" which goes beyond standard right/left ideology...though Lutz/Lux fail to acknowledge it, what they advocate essentially falls in tune with a largely forgotten 3rd way between state socialism and rabit laissez-faire econ...namely that of anarcho-syndicalism...Focusing mainly on the Basque achievements in Mondragon in Spain, the book puts forward a central thesis about local autonomy and deconstructs the dominant mythology of (Neo-)liberal economic theory. A welcome critique still relevant today despite its original publishing in 1988--worthy of space on any public library shelf despite it's apparent (but fallacious) vintage.
