Towards an Integrated Paradigm in Heterodox Economics: Alternative Approaches to the Current Eco-Social Crises

The human imprint on the biosphere has become so pronounced in recent years that there has been talk of a new geological era, the 'Anthropocene'. Gathering contributions from some of the world's foremost heterodox economists, this book explores the new economic directions and paradigms that are required to respond to this crisis.
