Recenzii
The world urgently needs original and creative thinking about economics - the sort of thinking that Manfred Max-Neef has been offering for several decades. His latest book (written jointly with Philip B. Smith) is an inspiring statement that there is an alternative to the hollow dream of globalisation.
Philip B. Smith and Manfred Max Neef have done something remarkable and necessary - they have set the self-deceptions of mainstream economics and the real world onto a collision course.
Much of the language of the book is passionate and emotive.
One good way for honest economics professors to fight back is to recommend this book to their students.
Presents a cogent critique of the dominant economics system in order to help transform our society into one in which all forms of life will be protected.
