The financial and economic crisis of 2008 has undermined neoliberalism's credibility. Many people have changed their minds from defending free market policies, to becoming interested in what is wrong with them. In the process, some are rediscovering two alternative schools of economic thought. While interest in institutionalism and historical materialism has been increasing, the economics discipline seems reluctant to acknowledge this changed reality because most introductory textbooks continue to equate neoclassical economics with the economics discipline itself.
Taking a political economy approach, Raymond C. Miller's International Political Economy: Contrasting World Views, in its 2nd edition, uniquely explains how free market, institutional, and class-centered views differently comprehend the contemporary international political economy. Miller is a political economist, and this interdisciplinary approach guides his presentation. From his point of view, all people have, at the very least, an implicit economic worldview. Worldviews organize people's subjective experiences and participation in the political economy. Importantly, concrete disagreements over fairness of prices, trade policies, tax rates, monetary policy, immigration, and so on and so forth are inextricably related to the existence of different economic visions.
What Miller's book does is it presents the core of conventional neoclassical economics, with contrasting presentations of institutionalism and historical materialism, all as ideal types. This allows for a cross-paradigmatic comparative approach, which readers can use to compare in a consistent fashion the premises, conceptual structure, and conclusions making up each of the three worldviews. By considering economic worldviews in this way, people have the intellectual tools needed to engage in the debate over the future of the international political economy in a conscious way.
Whatever one's view, there are alternatives to neoliberalism. For those interested in gaining an intellectual foundation in the debate over economic alternatives, Miller's book on international political economy is essential reading.
