About the book
Political Economy by Frank Stilwell is an introduction to the major schools of economic thought including Classical, Neoclassical, Marxist, Institutional, and Keynesian economics. Rather than presenting economics as a single set of fixed formulas, the book explains how these opposing theories shape real-world issues like wealth inequality, unemployment, financial crises, power dynamics, and environmental sustainability.
