'To be ''critical'' as a political economist is to be part of a rich and varied heritage, within which a series of alternative perspectives are articulated and defended in the name of a broader, common endeavour. This book ably showcases the diverse and pluralistic nature of contemporary critical political economy scholarship, something which is needed more than ever in times of the coronavirus and the associated economic, political and social upheavals.'--Ian Bruff, University of Manchester, UK
