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.
