Paperback. Condition: Fair. A passionate and informed critique of mainstream economics from one of the leading economic thinkers of our time?Trenchant and highly readable. . . . Should be required reading for anyone new to the field, students and general readers alike.??Simon Torracinta, Boston ReviewThis insightful book looks at how mainstream economics? quest for scientific certainty has led to a narrowing of vision and a convergence on an orthodoxy that is unhealthy for the field, not to mention the societies which base policy decisions on the advice of flawed economic models. Noted economic thinker Robert Skidelsky explains the circumstances that have brought about this constriction and proposes an approach to economics which includes philosophy, history, sociology, and politics.Skidelsky?s clearly written and compelling critique takes aim at the way that economics is taught in today?s universities, where a focus on modelling leaves students ill-equipped to grapple with what is important and true about human life. He argues for a return to the ideal set out by John Maynard Keynes that the economist must be a ?mathematician, historian, statesman, [and] philosopher? in equal measure.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. This sweeping history of humanity's relationship with machines illuminates how we got here and what happens next, with AI, climate change, and beyond. Faith in technological fixes for our problems is waning. Automation, which promised relief from toil, has reactivated the long-standing fear of job redundancy. Information technology, meant to liberate us from traditional authority, is placing unprecedented powers of surveillance and control in the hands of a purely secular Big Brother. And for the first time, artificial intelligence threatens anthropogenic disaster--disaster caused by our own activities. Scientists join imaginative writers in warning us of the fate of Icarus, whose wings melted because he flew too close to the sun. This book tells the story of our fractured relationship with machines from humanity's first tools down to the present and into the future. It raises the crucial question of why some parts of the world developed a "machine civilization" and not others, and traces the interactions between capitalism and technology, and between science and religion, in the making of the modern world. Taking in the peaks of philosophy and triumphs of science, the foundation of economics and speculations of fiction, Robert Skidelsky embarks on a bold intellectual journey through the evolution of our understanding of technology and what this means for our lives and politics.…
