Changing Economics

"Neoclassical economics", which is the basic and dominant approach in economics, has been producing the system again and again as an integral part of capitalism since the moment it emerged. The idea that an "invisible hand" always maintains the natural order, brings the markets into balance, that people who look after their individual interests will also ensure the welfare of society, and that the price mechanism functions properly, has long been the basis for the analysis of economists. However, this understanding, which perceives economics through purely mathematical data that does not have much reality and equates it with natural sciences such as physics, is far from explaining the billions of poor, hungry people in the world who live in extremely backward conditions.
The book, which emerged with the wave created by the "Post Autistic Economics" concept, which started with a declaration published by a group of economics students in France in the early 2000s, and was shaped within the framework of criticisms of this "diseased" state of neoclassical economics, starting from economics textbooks, includes new and mathematical approaches in the dominant system of thought. It suggests a non-committal social perspective. It underlines that economics is not just money and mathematical formulations, and that another economy is necessary against the insatiable horniness of neoliberalism.
It is an important resource for economics students as well as for those who want to look at economics from a different perspective and understand the "illusions" created by economists.
