Reviews:

"A wide-ranging, stimulating, and unconventional set of essays on the state of economics and economic policy. Everyone will find something of interest in these reflections."

DANI RODRIK, Professor of International Political Economy, Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, President of the International Economic Association, USA

"A wide-ranging group of essays on current issues of economic policy, informed by theory, and enlightened by the perspective of an astute observer in post-Soviet Georgia—with excellent views facing both East and West."

JAMES K. GALBRAITH, Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Chair in Government/Business Relations and Professor of Government, The University of Texas at Austin, USA

"Professor Vladimer Papava has lived through major upheavals such as a post-socialist transition and a global financial crisis, keeping an eye on the developments from his vantage point in Tbilisi, Georgia. The stimulating essays that have resulted from his observations, collected in this volume, share a heterodox stance, one that showcases appreciation for—and creative destruction of—mainstream economics. Economists and other social scientists will be introduced to novel, promising approaches, which themselves derive from an enviably wide-ranging examination of the international literature. Just as we learn in Professor Papava’s essays how to avoid a post-socialist 'necroeconomy' (where production of goods with no demand continues), the volume itself helps protect us against a necroeconomic scientific discipline. May the unconventional become conventional!"

JAMES A. LEITZEL, Executive Director of Public Policy Studies, Harris School of Public Policy, University of Chicago, USA

"A book to be read and studied as one digs through a mine in search of many gold veins, in this case formed through the author's intellectual curiosity, long-standing scholarly work, and experience."

SERGIO MARIOTTI, Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
