The Economic Reformation A 21st Century Critique of Political Economy: The Way Forward to End the Capitalist Crisis and Restore Liberty, Equality, and Prosperity

Ever since 2007, the economy has not been the same. Recessions, slow growth, and massive inequality have plagued societies around the world. Meanwhile, we confront the challenge of climate change in the face of which capitalist business leaders have (perhaps unsurprisingly) done nothing. In this new world, old rules no longer apply. While powerful people claim they know best about the economy because they know about business, they continue to ignore the most frightening risks to society today - climate change, inequality, and economic crisis, we know what they are. What should we do? To avoid catastrophe we need change. What we need is an economic reformation. The 21st Century has brought great transformations. New social conditions, awesome technologies, and global economic and ecological crisis force us to look at the world with fresh ideas. Emergent trends within three areas of the economy today, the economic ecosystem, technology, and the law, promise to revolutionize how we look at the economy forever. Andrew Bodiford tackles the irrational assumptions and outdated ideas that lie in the way of progress today. The Economic Reformation sheds the light of reason on the rot in the world's economy that prevents us from confronting our economic and ecological crisis head on and allowing the modern world work for everyone.
