Economics is in a state of "creative ferment," according to lead authors Suresh Naidu, Dani Rodrik, and Gabriel Zucman. A decade after the Great Recession, they argue for a new brand of economics, one divorced from market fundamentalism and focused instead on a more inclusive society. Responses to their ideas--which come from economists, philosophers, political scientists, and policymakers across the political spectrum--showcase just how passionate the debate over the future of economics has become. -- Publishers website

Présentation de l'éditeur : "Entre 1905 et 1954, Édouard Herriot incarne l'une des tendances principales du radicalisme français. De la mairie de Lyon à la présidence du Conseil, Édouard Herriot rassemble autour de ses idées une nouvelle génération d'élus pour lesquels la République constitue le régime définitif de la France. En rupture avec la doctrine radicale de la fin du XIXe siècle qui faisait de la révision constitutionnelle un des points de son programme, le radicalisme d'Édouard Herriot accepte définitivement les lois de 1875. Dès lors, malgré la crise des institutions qui caractérise le début du XXe siècle, Herriot tente de préserver le modèle républicain formé à la fin XIXe siècle. Selon lui, les institutions politiques et administratives républicaines doivent être modernisées pour correspondre aux promesses du régime républicain en faveur de la démocratie et de l'application de la science à la politique. Jusqu'en 1926, la tendance radicale menée par Herriot se caractérise par une volonté de refaire la République. Après 1926, contre les différents réformismes qui abordent le problème de la crise institutionnelle, Édouard Herriot et ses partisans résisteront favorisant ainsi la paralysie du régime. Enfin face à la Seconde guerre mondiale et au début de la Quatrième République, ils tenteront, avec moins de succès cette fois, de rétablir ce qu'ils considèrent être la tradition républicaine. Cet itinéraire politique d'un homme et d'un groupe de partisans participant aux principales fonctions de l'État pendant près de cinquante ans permet de comprendre la permanence et les ressorts de la crise institutionnelle française au XXe siècle. Au-delà du Parti radical lui-même, il s'agit de préciser l'importance du processus d'interprétation de la norme constitutionnelle par une force politique de Gouvernement et son influence dans l'évolution des institutions"

Since the Global Financial Crisis, economics has been under greater public scrutiny, revealing a crisis in the discipline. This represented a potential turning point on how economics should be thought and taught. Heterodox economics has played a prominent role in these discussions revolving around new economics thinking and pluralism in economics. Yet, its identity, aspirations, and pedagogy remain underexplored, contested, and somewhat opaque. This volume brings together sixteen interviews with leading economists to understand what heterodox economics is. How and why does an economist become heterodox? In which way do heterodox economists see themselves as 'different' from mainstream economics? The interviews shed light on what problems heterodox economists perceive in the mainstream; elucidate the different contexts under which they operate in higher education; and provide insights on their ontology and methodology. The reader will also find answers to the following questions about the nature and state of heterodox economics: Do heterodox economists have particular intellectual journeys, motives and aspirations? Is this reflected in their teaching practices and strategies to achieve social change? What is the relation between heterodox economics and the humanities and arts? Appealing to a diverse audience, including philosophers, sociologists and historians of economic thought, the book will be of great interest to anyone keen to find out more about the internal discussions in the economics discipline.

A timely addition to Henry Giroux's Critical Interventions series, Ecology and Revolution is grounded in the Frankfurt School critical theory of Herbert Marcuse. Its task is to understand the economic architecture of wealth extraction that undergirds today's intensifying inequalities of class, race, and gender, within a revolutionary ecological frame. Relying on newly discovered texts from the Frankfurt Marcuse Archive, this book builds theory and practice for an alternate world system. Ecology and radical political economy, as critical forms of systems analysis, show that an alternative world system is essential - both possible and feasible - despite political forces against it. Our rights to a commonwealth economy, politics, and culture reside in our commonworks as we express ourselves as artisans of the common good. It is in this context, that Charles Reitz develops a GreenCommonWealth Counter-Offensive, a strategy for revolutionary ecological liberation with core features of racial equality, women's equality, liberation of labor, restoration of nature, leisure, abundance, and peace.

L’autogestion est une forme d’organisation collective où chaque membre du groupe prend part au processus décisionnel qui s’exprime dans la recherche de consensus. Depuis ses débuts, la pensée libertaire propose, à travers ce type d’organisation, de quitter le paradigme capitalisme. Elle rejette non seulement la domination et l’exploitation de l’humain sur l’humain mais aussi l’emprise de l’humain sur son environnement qui conduit à sa destruction. Depuis trois ans, en Grèce, le Refugee Village for Freedom est un collectif autogestionnaire de réfugié.e.s qui pratique une agriculture en marge des circuits conventionnels. La souveraineté alimentaire pour le collectif est visée tout comme la solidarité, avec l’apport gratuit et régulier de produits sain et frais à plus d’un millier de réfugié.e.s vivant à Athènes. À travers une enquête sur le terrain et d’entretiens qualitatifs avec certains de ses membres, ce travail va analyser l’apprentissage du Refugee Village for Freedom dont le fondement libertaire offre un potentiel de transformation sociale rendu possible par l’autogestion. Self-organisation is a form of collective organisation where each member of the group participates in the decision-making process as a way of obtaining consensus. Since its inception, libertarian thought has proposed, through this type of organisation, to depart from the capitalism paradigm. It rejects not only the domination and exploitation of humans over humans but also the control of humans over their environment that leads to its destruction. For the past three years, in Greece, the Refugee Village for Freedom is a refugee collective based on the principles of self-organisation. In light of this, this collective has tended to practice a form of farming outside the conventional agriculture. Food sovereignty for the collective is targeted, along- side solidarity, with the free and regular supply of healthy and fresh products to more than a thousand refu- gees living in Athens. Through the use of field research and qualitative interviews with some of its members, this work will analyze the learnings observed from the Refugee Village for Freedom whose libertarian foun- dation offers a potential for social transformation, made possible by self-organisation.
