Research Agenda for Critical Political Economy (en Inglés) - Bill Dunn

Forward thinking and provocative, this Research Agenda demonstrates different approaches to the field from experts focusing on global and local, and historical and contemporary issues. It asserts that critical political economists differ from their mainstream counterparts through the variety of methods they use and the questions they pose.

Eminent global scholars examine a diverse selection of interdisciplinary themes, raising questions surrounding future research in the area, offering examples and linking the theory to its implications for practice and policy. Chapters explore economic growth and the ideology of development, sweatshop economics, experimental economics, the land question in urban economics, money and finance, and thinking beyond capitalism with the solidarity economy.

A Research Agenda for Critical Political Economy will be a fascinating read for students and scholars of political economy, political science and economics. With case studies and practical examples of the application of the topic, it will also be an invigorating read for economists and policy makers looking for alternative approaches to the field.
