Economics of the 1%: How Mainstream Economics Serves the Rich, Obscures Reality and Distorts Policy

by John F. Weeks

How much do economists really know? In most cases, they claim to have profound knowledge but in fact understand little and obscure almost everything. This book exposes the myths of mainstream economics and explains why current policies fail to serve the interests of the vast majority of people in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. Instead, they serve the few, increasing inequality and poverty.
