Richard D. Wolff and Stephen A. Resnick, Contending economic theories. Neoclassical, Keynesian, and Marxian

At a time when the economics profession is dominated by a unique paradigm, which is largely based on the neoclassical vision of the economy, a book which com- pares and contrast different approaches to economics is greatly welcome. To show that there exist different contending approaches to the analysis and comprehension of the economic reality is very important for its implications for teaching and, more in general, for a more lively and interesting debate within the the economics profession. The book by R. D. Wolff and S. A. Resnick (with the collaboration of Y. M. Madra) examines three different approaches to economics: neoclassical, Keynesian and Marxian.
