When Economyths was first published in 2010, David Orrell showed how mainstream economics is based on key myths such as fair competition, rational behaviour, stability & eternal growth
- & how these myths lead paradoxically to their opposites: inequality, an irrational economy, financial instability & a collision with nature`s limits. Since then, we`ve had Occupy, political upheaval, flash crashes in financial markets, the warmest few years in recorded history
- & a growing chorus demanding fundamental reform. So how has economics responded? In this revised & expanded edition, Orrell shows how the ten myths still dominate economics. He reveals their roots in thought that goes back to the ancient Greeks, making them hard to dislodge. & he uncovers, demolishes & develops an alternative to the greatest economyth of all
- the one that will lead to the collapse of orthodox economics.
