‘Mainstream economics, relative to heterodoxy and social science generally, is so extreme in methodology, theory and conceptualisations, it has spawned a variegated tsunami of alternative theories. This volume expertly and comprehensively engages this pluralism across schools, approaches and topics offering specialist insights alongside informative expositions – imperative reading for the intellectually open.’
