After the late 1970s, the ideas of influential economists have justified policies that have made the world more prone to economic crisis, remarkably less equal, more polluted and less secure than it might be. How could ideas and policies that proved to be such an abject failure come to dominate the economic landscape? By critically examining the work of the most famous economists of the neoliberal period including Alan Greenspan, Milton Friedman, and Robert Lucas, the authors Robert Chernomas and Ian Hudson demonstrate that many of those who rose to prominence did so primarily because of their defence of, and contribution to, rising corporate profits and not their ability to predict or explain economic events. An important and controversial book, The Profit Doctrine exposes the uses and abuses of mainstream economic canons, identify those responsible and reaffirm the primacy of political economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Chernomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745335858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Chernomas\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of economics at the University of Manitoba and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eSocial Murder and Other Shortcomings of Conservative Economics\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Gatekeeper: Sixty Years of Economics according to the \"New York Times\"\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTo Live and Die in America: Class, Power, Health, and Health Care\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eIan Hudson\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of economics at the University of Manitoba and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eEconomics in the Twenty-first Century: A Critical Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40119993368691,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_34e6208f-f056-413e-a45d-2e1115da577b.jpg?v=1653661487","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-profit-doctrine-economists-of-the-neoliberal-era-9780745335858","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
