Description
According to the authors ("Young Turks" in the institutionalist school), radical institutionalism studies show how resources and wants are created through social processes and advance the struggle for a better world through an ongoing dialogue about economic rights. This collection contains a number of new and important contributions from young institutionalists, including the first serious treatment of the origins and contributions of the Texas School of institutionalism. It also contains thorough discussions of the research agenda for institutional economics and an extensive dialogue between institutionalism and Marxism.
Reviews:
-
. . . William Dugger, author of three of the eight papers in the small volume under review, is now pressing a case for "radical" institutionalism . . . Namely, the economy is analysed as a continually evolving process, rather than as tending towards some equilibrium; opressive behavioral patterns are recognized and rejected as social myths; power and status plus myths are seen as tyranny. . .
—Journal of Social Economics

...Dugger attempts to organize a theoretical and practical agenda for radical institutionalism is a significant contribution to the discipline. Its value will be even more appreciated once the solid, social-science foundations have been supplied for his grand design. Dugger himself is, as always outrageous, rich in historical and ethical insights, and forever the joyful combatant for economic justice.
