review 1: aside from kissing major feminist butt to the point of causing me to question his credibility, this union side economist (autoworkers union, hence the team approach with the feminists) has a take on the economy that is well outside the instruction inside universities. my economics classes were an indoctrination into chicago school/neoliberal viewpoints. I had read galbraith previously, which created an interest and what they teach is a completely different animal that is clearly lacking in balance.when I find books that offer a different perspective I am eager to check them out. It's a little 70s, trying to suggest that the work of wives and mothers add to the conceptual economy - I'm not sure I buy that, but I'm learning about economists and ideas not mentioned in my c... moreourses and particularly relevant today, in light of the failure - once again - of the supply-side, trickle-down - ideas of the 80s.Those ideas are failing across continents right now and I'm wondering when the world is planning on waking up from history.
review 2: This book did exactly what I wanted...gave me a good basic understanding of what 'economics' and 'capitalism' are about. It touches on a very broad swath so doesn't go deeply into any one area but that is what I needed. I have a better understanding of why our capitalist structure is more prone to boom and bust cycles and how banks, government, the finance industry, and the consumer tie together in our own economy and the global economy. less
