'...this book provides a good overview of the varieties of ongoing research in heterodox economics. It can thus deliver some fresh ideas beyond the NCM and help to overcome the uncritical approach to the assumptions of standard economic theory.' - Jan-Oliver Menz, INTERVENTION - European Journal of Economics and Economic Policies
