‘This is a practical and interesting guide to the origins, philosophies, and writings of some 100 economists and social scientists. . . . this reference work will be a valuable guide to the diversity and richness of opinion that can make economics more relevant and appealing. . . . it offers a useful guide to the potential diversity of modern economic thought; it not only provides useful information, it is entertaining to read.’
– Timothy E. Sullivan, American Reference Books Annual 2002

Acclaim for the first edition:

‘. . . this book should be in your library.’
– Malcolm Rutherford, Journal of Economic Issues

‘. . . this is a clearly written, well-organized biographical dictionary. Highly recommended to all members of the economics profession, especially those whose primary interest lies in research or the history of economic thought.’
– Oleg Zinam, American Reference Books Annual

This is a thoroughly updated and revised edition of the first, and definitive, biographical dictionary of dissenting economists. It is an extensive and authoritative guide to economists both past and present, providing biographical, bibliographical and critical information on over 100 economists working in the non-neoclassical traditions broadly defined. It includes entries on, amongst others, radical economists, Marxists, post-Keynesians, behaviourists, Kaleckians and institutionalists. The book demonstrates the extent and richness of the radical heterodox tradition in economics.
