Economics and Utopia Summary

Economics and Utopia: Why the Learning Economy is Not the End of History by Geoffrey M Hodgson (University of Hertfordshire, UK)

The book is an important contribution to the current debate concerning the future of the present society and the prospects for the next millennium

Controversially, it critiques capitalism, socialism, mainstream economics and marxian economics

Author has been at the forefront of the development of institutional and evolutionary approaches to economics

Hodgson is a distinguished theorist and this will sell the book. He has just retired as Chairman of EAEPE (European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy - 800 members) - which means broad audience/contacts

Innovative and critical address of key questions such as how capitalism can evolve not into socialism but into a different type of economic system
