Chapters argue that the neoliberal development trajectory pursued in recent decades is unsustainable, and posit that neither sound macroeconomics nor empirical data support the unqualified faith in free markets that inspired it. The book begins by providing a broad critical perspective on key concepts such as freedom, free market, free trade, globalisation and financialisation, before going on to analyse the long and deep recent crisis as a result of the neoliberal policy strategy adopted since the early 1980s. The alternative narrative outlined in the book provides insights into the policy strategy required to achieve a sustainable development trajectory. 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aEconomic Policy 606 $aInternational Political Economy? 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 14$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy?. 676 $a338.9 700 $aVercelli$b Alessandro$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$080528 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154844603321 996 $aCrisis and Sustainability$92240057 997 $aUNINA
