Frontier
Issues in Economic Thought
A
six-volume series
Neva Goodwin, Series Editor
Frontier
Issues in Economic Thought offers a concise, accessible
introduction to innovative new work that is, or should
be, expanding the frontiers of economics. Each volume
includes short 2- to 5-page summaries of over 70 key
articles and book chapters -- a "Readers Digest"
for heterodox economics -- combined with longer review
essays by the editors, which comment on the summarized
articles and other work in the field. Nobel Prize-winning
economist Amartya Sen called the Frontiers books "a
wonderful series which is making a major impact."
The publisher of all six volumes in the Frontiers
series is Island Press.
