Economic thought at the turn of the new century, this book argues, faces fundamental intellectual questionss with profound consequences for all of us. Is it true that there is no alternative to the neo-liberal ideology of free trade, allegedly self-regulating markets, and the abandonment by government of much of its responsibility to manage the economy? Can poor countries pursue no other route to prosperity and development but opening up their economies to global forces? Arthur MacEwan explores these and other questions.
