Recenzii
Praise for The Political Economy Reader, Second Edition
"Political economy readers tend to come in two flavors: excerpts of the classics or surveys of the present. The difficulty lies in combining the two, showing the reader how the reach of political economy has expanded over time. Barma and Vogel have managed just that and, in doing so, have set the benchmark for what students of political economy need to know."
--Mark Blyth, Brown University
"From climate change to COVID-19, understanding the challenges policymakers confront in governing markets has never been more important. This valuable collection presents a wide variety of thoughtfully-curated approaches to political economy, providing scholars and students alike with essential insights into persistent puzzles regarding how political institutions shape markets in ways that promote—or fail to promote—societies that thrive."
--Greta R. Krippner, University of Michigan
"Barma and Vogel have produced an outstanding collection of core texts on political economy, including both classic texts and some of the most important recent contributions. This reader strikes a perfect balance between theory and applied topics and highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the field. The volume familiarizes the reader with the most influential theoretical approaches to political economy. It also includes important empirical studies that illustrate the relevance of the field to understanding a wide range of contemporary and historical developments. Thanks to the editors’ carefully crafted introductions it is accessible to students encountering this material for the first time, but the volume is equally useful as a sophisticated guide to the field for advanced graduate students and anyone else who wants to learn more about political economy. This book is an indispensable and up-to-date guide to political economy, and it will be essential reading for students taking a wide range of classes in political science, sociology, economics, history, and management."
-- Magnus Feldmann, University of Bristol
"Vogel and Barma do a masterful job of selecting key yet divergent theoretical perspectives on political economy. The Reader then turns to substantive contemporary debates, where these competing theories can be applied and evaluated against real-world examples. This text is an excellent choice for a graduate or advanced undergraduate course. The reading selections encourage a rigorous comparative analysis on some of the major political and economic challenges of our time."
--Elizabeth Carter, University of New Hampshire
"The Political Economy Reader by Barma and Vogel brings together landmark texts and cutting-edge research on emerging questions in political economy. It allows readers to trace the major lineages of economic thought from Smith, Polanyi and Marx to contemporary theorists grappling with how to make sense of global financial crises, climate change and pandemic politics. The selections do justice to a broad range of perspectives and together with the authors’ introductions to themes, they inspire debate about foundational assumptions of historical and contemporary political economy. The volume is an invaluable teaching tool."
--Susanne Wengle, University of Notre Dame
Praise for the First Edition
"This is a superb collection of foundational works in political economy. Rather than obeying disciplinary boundaries, Barma and Vogel accomplish what we should all aspire to: bringing together key ideas and contributions from a range of scholars interested in important theoretical and substantive questions relevant to the field of political economy. I know of no other collection that spans the theoretical and empirical range of this volume."
--David Leblang, University of Colorado, Boulder
"'It’s very difficult to select ‘critical’ readings in political economy because there is so much terrain to cover. But Barma and Vogel have made excellent selections that can be the foundation for a graduate-level course, or a scholarly immersion into foundational perspectives. I think their organization of the writing into alternative perspectives in tension with each other will make for great discussions."
--Nicole Woolsey Biggart, University of California, Davis
"This is an outstanding anthology of classic and modern writings on political economy. Indeed, other than being asked to select the readings personally to suit your own exact tastes, it is hard to envision a better collection than The Political Economy Reader... Particularly given its inclusion of a number of classic theoretical readings, the book would sit well when paired with the more recent focus of many books used to teach globalization. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume with contributions from economics, history, political science, and sociology should also appeal to anyone teaching an Introduction to International Studies course. While everyone using this book might want to change an individual reading here or there, this reader is about as good as you could ever get for comprehensive coverage of political economy in one easy volume. It is likely to become highly popular and widely adopted over the coming years."
