"The Mystery of persistent economic failure can now be explained. Professor Mason Gaffney charges his colleagues with using a theoretical apparatus that is fatally flawed. But he goes further. He accuses the founders of neo-classical economics - the paradigm taught in schools and universities - of acting in bad faith. They bent the science of economics to protect vested interests and prevent governments adopting policies that would yield prosperity for everyone."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
