Author Description

Product Description Towards a New Europe? goes beyond the narrow obsessions of post-1992 orthodox economists with questions concerning efficiency and the allocative power of the freely operating and expanding market. Drawing upon the work of prominent industrial and political economists, the book examines the implications, for both East and West, of radical, ongoing technological, organizational and socio-political transformations. It argues that it is these processes, rather than market forces per se, which will influence the problems and possibilities of economic and social progress in the new Europe. Review ’Among the enormous number of publications on the European Community little literature is worth reading, but this book qualifies for its strategic vision and approach... this volume gives a refreshing and interesting contribution to the global understanding of economic and social problems in Europe.’ About the Author Edited by Ash Amin, University of Cambridge, UK and the late Michael Dietrich, former Senior Lecturer, Department of Economics, University of Sheffield, UK
