Book Synopsis
Reasserts the role of power in determining economic outcomesReviews definitions of theories and power from across the social sciencesRadically reassesses economic orthodoxyReview Quotes
"In this well-written, well-presented and highly readable book, Adam Ozanne provides a thought-provoking attempt to reintroduce the lost discussion of power into mainstream economics. ... I find this an interesting, ambitious book with an intelligent rhetoric." (Heterodox Economics Newsletter, Issue 195, April, 2016)
"Adam Ozanne has written a very interesting, short book on the strange absence of the concept of power from mainstream modern economics. ... I very much liked the book - ie. warmly agree with the general argument. ... I'll be thinking more about the specific means of incorporating power in economics that the book suggests; it certainly looks promising." (Diane Coyle, The Enlightened Economist, enlightenmenteconomics.com, April, 2016)
