Economia

Geoff Davies turns his critical scientific gaze on contemporary economic orthodoxy and finds it deeply deficient. His work makes a strong case for a radical reconstruction of economic arrangements if we are to live more fruitfully and harmoniously.

- Frank Stilwell, Professor of Political Economy, University of Sydney.


Imagine a much more equal and inclusive society than we have now. It has old-fashioned family values, solid local communities, and full employment in an efficient and sustainable market economy with a debt-free money supply and no executive plunder. Impossible? Perhaps. But Geoff Davies' project is distinguished by such commonsense, hard science, practicality, surprise, fine writing and expert contempt for orthodox economics, it's a joy to read for visionaries and sceptics alike.

I find Davies’ arguments refreshing and convincing. They cannot be ignored. … if Davies is even half right, we, the people, must urgently modify the economic model which drives all of our financial institutions, nearly all of our current politicians and all of our public services.
