Capitalist Political Economy

Introduces the key economic thinkers alongside political economists from other disciplines to provide a broad and interdisciplinary introduction to theories of political economy. The unique structure combines discussions of key theorists with developments in theory to introduce readers to the idea that political economy is both an approach to understanding capitalism and a reflection of capitalism at particular moments. Visual support, such as tables, charts, maps, and graphs, along with breakout boxes providing short summaries and important asides are utilized throughout the book to ensure that the text appeals to a broad range of students.
