A CONCISE AND ACCESSIBLE REFORMULATION OF THE STUDY OF ECONOMIES

"... we need a much broader debate on economic systems and their place in human and natural systems. This may require many voices and points of view, but Davies’ latest contribution is likely to be a serious and conceivably seminal contribution to this debate."
– Steve Keen, author of Debunking Economics

"... comprehensive, accessible, and coherent ... a significant contribution to the debate about how our social and economic institutions should be reformed ..."
– Steven Hail, University of Adelaide, author of Economics for Sustainable Prosperity

The study of economies needs to be fundamentally reworked. We need to return to fundamental questions. What is the nature of an economy? What is the purpose of an economy? How does an economy relate to the larger society and natural world in which it is embedded?

In this book a conception is sketched out that can accommodate not only economic phenomena but the social and natural processes with which they are inextricably entwined.

Systems, money and social interaction are fundamental. Banking, finance, accounting, trade and investment, ownership, rewards and responsibilities, and governance are concisely integrated. The distinctive nature of land is clarified. The potential to reduce material throughput while increasing well-being without limit is highlighted.
