A Political Economy of Justice

Defining a just economy in a tenuous social-political time.
 
If we can agree that our current social-political moment is tenuous and unsustainableand indeed, that may be the only thing we can agree on right nowthen how do markets, governments, and people interact in this next era of the world? A Political Economy of Justice considers the strained state of our political economy in terms of where it can go from here. The contributors to this timely and essential volume look squarely at how normative and positive questions about political economy interact with each otherand from that beginning, how to chart a way forward to a just economy.
 
A Political Economy of Justice collects fourteen essays from prominent scholars across the social sciences, each writing in one of three lanes: the measures of a just political economy; the role of firms; and the roles of institutions and governments. The result is a wholly original and urgent new benchmark for the next stage of our democracy. See more
