This book did a great job of using empirical evidence to critique the current global economy, particularly the market and global capitalism. It also provided many policy options that we could adopt to correct many of these market failures.
Every economics student should read this book. I completed my economics degree years ago and had many similar critiques and ended up discouraged from pursuing economics after graduating.
I think that changing our values and assumptions in economics is a great starting point for the development of new theories and models. In the field of economics we desperately need to get rid of our old assumptions as they simply do not hold up in the real world.
I do wish this book would have gone into more detail and include an analysis of power that influences the current adoption of this model.

An absolutely must read for every person who wants a glimpse of hope for our future. We all must understand how to change our thinking in order to overhaul our current economic models that are actively creating the problems and roadblocks to a brighter future.
A wonderful read for non Economists which lays out the economic models the currently run our world.

This book made complex, critical economic theories easy to understand with its central, re-drawn diagrams and accessible language. The comparisons make the information digestible, even for those (like myself) with no prior study or knowledge of economics. We are given a history of each chapter of economics past; and we are subsequently told of its failings and shortcomings in today’s (and the future’s) economy. Informative and empowering.
