Description for Power and Neoclassical Economics
Hardback. Mainstream economics ignores power, meaning it can provide only partial explanations of inequality and poverty. Ozanne proposes a new approach for including power in standard microeconomic theory which, if adopted in economics teaching, could radically change the way young economists are taught to think about economic problems.
