In this new introduction to competing economic paradigms, Rima charts the development of the varying schools of thought, their current status, and future prospects. There is little doubt that the events of the second decade of the twentieth century ¿ financial meltdown, the credit crunch and the sub prime crisis ¿ have provided fertile ground for less orthodox ways of thinking. Hence, a range of methodologies ¿ from Austrian to Feminist; from Post Keynesian to Institutionalist ¿ have begun to make their presence felt again ¿ and there has been a considerable heating up of the debates.
