Routledge Savage Economics - Wealth, Poverty and Capitalism

Savage Economics: Wealth, Poverty and the Temporal Walls of Capitalism offers a deep look into the most powerful ideas shaping political economy, international relations, and ethics today. As part of the RIPE Series in Global Political Economy, this work provides a systematic cultural critique of how mainstream economics is understood in the modern world. By rereading classical authors such as Adam Smith, Hegel, Marx, Adam Ferguson, and James Steuart, the authors build a strong argument regarding the nature of the capitalist market economy. This book is essential for readers looking to understand the fundamental structures of wealth and poverty through a critical lens. It challenges existing perspectives and provides a new way to view the relationship between economic systems and global structures.
