| Annotation:
According to author David Orrell, economics
is in the middle of a revolution. The current theory -- based on
a tradition of reductionist, mechanical thought that dates back
to the time of Pythagoras -- has resulted in social injustice,
huge disparities between the rich and the poor, and the
degradation of the world's ecology and environment. An
alternative economic theory is now being fashioned, inspired by
new sciences such as complexity and network theory,
science-related movements like environmentalism, and social
movements like feminism. The first heroes of this revolution
include astronauts, student protestors, environmentalists, rock
musicians, feminists, maverick mathematicians, and dissident
scientists. All have had a hand in forging what is ultimately a
new science of money. Part economic theory, part science, part
popular history, and part manifesto, "The Other Side of the
Coin" promises to change the way readers think about money
forever. |
