What They're Saying
Critics Review
One of Martin Wolf’s ‘Best Books of 2021: Economics’ in the Financial Times
“It is written not to interpret economics, but to change it.”
Financial Times
“In this punchy and passionate book, Steve Keen deftly unravels the fundamentals of neoclassical economics – and then starts to weave together the mindset, models and maths of an economics that actually works. For any student of economic modelling who wants to help create tools that are fit for the twenty-first century, this is the handbook and call to action you have been waiting for.”
Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics
“This is a brilliant book. It deals with a crucial subject, and it does so with precision, wit and accessible prose.”
