He looks at economics from the perspective of an entrepreneur making decisions in a world where the future is unknown, innovation is a continuous process and the future is being created before it can be understood. Key Features include:         Analysis derived from the theories of pre-Keynesian classical economists, as this is the only source available today that explains the classical pre-Keynesian theory of the business cycle   A focus on the entrepreneur as the driving force in economic activity rather than on anonymous \"forces\" as found in most economic theory today   Great emphasis is placed on the consequences of decision making under uncertainty   Offers an introductory understanding, accessible to the non-specialist reader     The aim of this book is to redirect the attention of economists and policy makers towards the economic theories that prevailed in earlier times. Their problems were little different from ours but their way of understanding the operation of an economy and dealing with those problems was completely different. Free Market Economics, Second Edition will help students and general readers understand the economics of that earlier time, written by someone who believes that this now-discarded approach to economic thought was superior to what is found in most of our textbooks today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49599089770769,"sku":"GOR013442768","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1782547967.jpg?v=1751248233"},{"product_id":"quotable-drunkard-book-steven-kates-9781440512643","title":"The Quotable Drunkard","description":"From the ancient to the modern, this title presents wit, wisdom, and drunken ramblings about beer, wine, whiskey, gin, and other alcoholic substances humans have used to destroy their livers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50382121009425,"sku":"CIN1440512647G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51919569420561,"sku":"GOR005360211","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51957784248593,"sku":"GOR004375284","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52967395131665,"sku":"CIN1440512647VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1440512647.jpg?v=1750955198"},{"product_id":"free-market-economics-third-edition-book-steven-kates-9781786431400","title":"Free Market Economics, Third Edition","description":"If you are genuinely interested in what is wrong with modern economics, this is where you can find out.

This has been a contentious issue since the publication of Keynes's General Theory, but has also divided economists since it first emerged almost two centuries ago in the writings of James Mill. This book discusses the change in the understanding of the nature of the business cycle wrought by the General Theory whose major innovation in overturning Say's Law was to introduce demand deficiency into mainstream economic thought.The volume provides a robust and innovative exposition of the crucial point of division between classical and Keynesian economics, demonstrating that the role of demand deficiency was the fundamental issue at stake.  Steven Kates first discusses Keynes's interpretation of Say's Law before documenting its development within classical theory. He then charts the development of post-General Theory interpretations of Say's Law, challenging Keynes's definition which was captured in the phrase 'supply creates its own demand'. The author also attempts to unravel the vast literature on the progress made by Keynes between his Treatise on Money published in 1930 and the General Theory, published six years later. He suggests that the crucial point in the origins of the General Theory was Keynes's discovery of Malthus's writings on Say's Law at the very depths of the Great Depression in 1932.  This provocative book will be required reading for scholars and students interested in the history of economic thought, the history of macroeconomics and the Keynesian revolution.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50579341541649,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50579343180049,"sku":"CIN1848448260G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848448260.jpg?v=1750834437"},{"product_id":"art-of-the-impossible-book-steven-kates-9781925501391","title":"The Art Of The Impossible","description":"The book is a complete compilation of my blogs on the 2016 American presidential election beginning in July 2015 as the election cycle began and ending with the tallying of the votes which was completed on November 9, 2016.
