¿Qué falla con la economía?

In its search for scientific certainty, economics has ended up imposing a too narrow worldview on us and has created an unhealthy orthodoxy. Many of the most relevant decisions for our societies are made following false premises and erroneous economic models. The way it is taught in college does not convey to students what is most important and true in human life. Therefore, it is worth asking: is the economy, as we practice and understand it today, good for prosperity and well-being? Economic thinker Robert Skidelsky explains, in this insightful and groundbreaking book, the circumstances that have led us to this situation. With an entertaining prose, and based on a succession of convincing criticisms, he proposes us to understand economics as a sum of disciplines that goes far beyond models and an obsession with numbers.
