From political economy to economics and beyond

Fleetwood, Steve

Abstract

Ben Fine and Dimitris Milonakis have done political economy a great service by drawing attention to the insights lost in the twists, turns and reductions in the transition from political economy to economics. These two volumes constitute a solid foundation upon which a new generation can build a political economy for the future. This review presses some of their meta-theoretical arguments a little further than they actually do in an attempt to 'toughen-up' the new political economy and make it more able to carry the fight to economics. © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2012.
