This </i>Handbook of Alternative Theories of Political Economy<i> is exactly what is needed to expand the way we think about and do economics.â</i>

The volume has been effectively organized with an inclusive approach that is not only pluralist but also interdisciplinary. The upshot of which is the facilitation of a broad, yet rigorous, understanding of political economy.â</i>
