Economics: A New Introduction

Author: Hugh Stretton

Economics: A New Introduction provides a fresh introduction to real economics. Highlighting the complex and changing nature of economic activity, this wide-ranging text employs a pragmatic mix of old and new methods to examine the role of values and theoretical beliefs in economic life and in economists' understanding of it. It attends to the problems which have come with high productivity, rapidly changing technology and skills, changing proportions of earning and non-earning years in most people's lives, and a faltering revolution in childhood and parenting which has brought stress and over-work for many women. It addresses such issues as rising poverty, inequality, insecurity and the slow progress of environmental reform. In focusing on such abuses of affluence the text draws on institutional, Keynesian, green, and feminist theories, while emphasizing all approaches to understanding economic life.

Paul Streeten

Stretton provides a brilliant, critical, and fresh look at the whole of economics. He points to the contradictions and the lack of realism in its current approaches. I cannot recommend this book too strongly.

Michael Keaney

The publication of this book is one of the most important events of the last ten years in economics. It is not a flimsy response to the stagnating orthodoxy, but a substantial quality alternative building upon solid philosophical foundations.

G.C. Harcourt

Exactly what is needed for the thoughtful and concerned student. It introduces the reader to the many different skills required in economics: analysis, a knowledge of history and institutions, philosophical concepts, quantitative precision, judgment, relevance, and a sense of time and place.

Marc Tool

I recommend this volume without reservation as an introductory text for university students at any stage of their career. More advanced students can proceed more rapidly. But the inquiry mode presented will function well at all levels of inquiry.
