Routledge Dictionary of Economics, Second Edition
An application of Marxist and socialist theories to the analysis of the problems of advanced CAPITALIST countries. The major concerns of radical economists are income inequality, international capitalism in the form of MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS, DE-INDUSTRIALIZATION, UNEMPLOYMENT, MARKET FAILURE, defence expenditure and the low provision of many PUBLIC GOODS.
The humane concerns of these writers have influenced a great deal of policy making but have yet to form the basis of a new society and economy in any major country
