Re: Advice on economics/political economics books requested

I'll only comment on the two books I've read.

> e) Debunking Economics: The Naked Emperor of the Social Sciences

very good, but technical. It's a perfect _samizdat_ for Econ. graduate students who want to ask the profs. hard questions. 
 
> g) Contours of Descent
> by Robert Pollin

excellent. It's a good US-centered macroeconomic history of recent years (since 1972), centering on the role of policy and how it's messed us up. There's an interesting chapter on what used to be called the "third world." The whole book is a coherent critique of neo-liberalism.
