Recenzii
'The 'Great Recession' of 2007–2009 caught most social scientists by surprise because they assumed that modern societies had eliminated deep economic crises. Fortunately, some dissenting scholars have continued to probe the regularities of economic cycles of booms and busts. This volume brings together some of the best of that work at a time when both scholars and policy makers urgently need to revise their core beliefs. It deserves a broad audience.' Fred Block, University of California at Davis
'At a time when the specter of irrelevance is haunting conventional macroeconomics, a group of economists who 'got it right' long before the current economic debacle explain why history, institutions, and politics all matter in understanding capitalism's booms and busts.' Samuel Bowles, Santa Fe Institute
'There are two crucial questions that confront political economy in the wake of the global economic and financial crisis. Can the current globally integrated neoliberal economic and financial regime survive? If it does not survive, what kind of economic regime is likely to replace it? This book is ideally suited to help the reader think productively about these questions because it effectively explains, evaluates, and updates the most useful framework within which to consider them - social structure of accumulation theory - and uses it to explore possible answers.' James Crotty, University of Massachussetts, Amherst
'Social structure of accumulation (SSA) theory provides an essential foundation for understanding the long-term ups and downs of the economy and the crisis that emerged in 2007–2008 in particular. This book provides an essential foundation for understanding SSA theory. Read it and understand! Understand how markets are intertwined with and depend on a complex of social and political institutions, how those institutions provide the basis for periods of economic expansion, and how the breakdown of those institutions leads to economic crisis and change. McDonough, Reich, and Kotz have brought together a set of essays that not only provide this understanding but also develop SSA theory. A most useful book!' Arthur MacEwan, University of Massachusetts, Boston
'As the leading governments of the world abandon neoliberalism and grope toward a new way of managing markets, it is time for economists to seriously explore the role of institutions in economic growth and income distribution. This volume provides a valuable update and refinement of the social structures of the accumulation approach to understanding market economies. The historical and conjuctural analysis is first rate. The larger contribution of this volume is how it forcefully pushes macroeconomics back in touch with the real world.' William Milberg, New School for Social Research
'… an excellently written exposition of the current state of one of the major currents of contemporary radical political economy. Additionally, it offers intuitive analyses of many aspects of contemporary capitalist reality. As such it is necessary reading for all those interested in these crucial issues.' Stavros D. Mavroudeas, Science and Society
