Description
The Enchanted World: Inflation, Credit and the World Crisis
By Alain Lipietz, one of France's most distinguished Marxist economists, this seminal work explores the role of money and credit in the causes of the 1980s world slump. Lipietz presents a compelling argument that traditional Marxist economics has focused too heavily on production at the expense of everyday capitalist commerce.
This book offers a readable introduction to the "regulation school" of French economics, providing a concise explanation of its emphasis on structural forms within which accumulation takes place. It will be of interest to students of economics concerned with understanding the world recession and its underlying causes.
