Contemporary Critiques of Political Economy 1st Edition

Bold new perspectives on how economies shape lives — and how they can be reshaped. Contemporary Critiques of Political Economy, 1st Edition by Ananta Kumar Giri offers a probing, accessible examination of the theories, practices, and consequences of modern political economy, with sharp attention to ethics, social justice, and sustainability.
