Comprehensive yet accessible chapters, written by a collection of prominent authors, cover a wide range of political economy approaches to the crisis, including Marxian, Post Keynesian and other heterodox schools.

To those seeking to understand the current economic stagnation and failings of the system, it offers an enlightening exposition of contemporary political economy.
