Summary

Rent Unmasked Summary

Rent Unmasked: How to Save the Global Economy and Build a Sustainable Future by Fred Harrison

Winner:
2016-2017 People's Book Prize, Achievement Award

Rent Unmaskedexplores the new economic paradigm that policy-makers need to solve global problems in the post-2008 era. With conventional economic theories discredited, the new model must equip governments with tools to re-stabilise societies in a dangerous world.Rent Unmaskedexplains why one paradigm only qualifies to serve this purpose: the dynamic model that reinstates time and space in economic theorizing. The Flat Earth economics of the neo-classical school is analyzed by the 13 contributors to this volume, which honors the seminal role played by Mason Gaffney, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of California (Riverside), in exposing the way in which classical economics was debased to serve rent-seeking interests.

Rent Unmasked Reviews

"An inveterate optimist [who] makes an excellent case that, by applying the Henry George principle, we can reduce inequality, and raise ample public revenues to be directed at any one of a multitude of society's ills". Joseph Stiglitz // "Rent Unmasked is a tour de force, skilfully demonstrating that Georgist analysis can be presented in a form acceptable to modern economists ... the clear exposition of the merits of collecting land and natural resource rents whilst reducing or eliminating taxes on income earned by labour and capital is strongly recommended to all who wish to see economics recover its rightful place as the master social science." Brian Hodgkinson, Forthcoming in American Journal of Economics and Sociology
