my new book

> Dear PEN-L: 

You might be interested in my new book from Elgar: 

Robert Scott Gassler. Beyond Profit and Self-Interest: Economics with
a Broader Scope. 

It is out in Europe and will be out in the US in February (I guess that's
next week). Without a trace of modesty I'll reproduce the publisher's
blurb 

"Here is the book Leon Walras should have written, or would have
written if he had also been Kenneth Boulding's student. It is ingenious
in content and wholesome in attitude. It combines neoclassical economics,
departures arguably within neoclassicism, and varieties of heterodox
economics, within the ambit of systems theory. It is only one of many
possible combinations but it is rich and open-ended. Its attitude is
especially striking. Gassler departs from the trap of unbending defense
of the neoclassical hard core versus its equally unbending critique.He
departs, too, from seeing othodoxy and heterodoxy as either alternatives
or supplements; he constructs a model that permits all to survive as
tools in the art of economics. It enables economists to escape from many
of their current impasses. The book needs to be widely read." --
