Product Description
Review
"Caporaso and Levine have pulled off a difficult feat. They have managed to write a comprehensive introduction to political economy that is theoretically sophisticated. Not only can beginners profit from their efforts, but so can theorists." Stephen Elkin, University of Maryland
"Caporaso and Levine skillfully map out the terrain of political economy....The consideration of policy issues nicely illustrates and complements the more abstract points. Theories of Political Economy combines the virtues of both monograph and text and will edify scholars and students of political economy and policy studies." David F. Weiman, Yale University
"Caporaso and Levine do an excellent job of reviewing the economic theories of Smith, Marx, and Keynes and their intellectual heirs and persuasively analyze the classical components of Marxian thought." Edward S. Mihalkanin, Social Science Quarterly
"The book is well written and at a level that is accessible to undergraduate students. In addition, the various economic theories covered are well set out, even though at an elementary level. Thus, for the brave and bold evolutionary economist, the book could serve as a main text for an introduction to economics course. In any case, I heartily recommend the book...." Frederic S. Lee, Journal of Economic Issues
"...an admirably evenhanded mastery, explication, and assessment of contending perspectives in a rapidly expanding, controversial, and fascinating subject." John E. Elliott, History of Political Economy

Product Description
'Political economy' has been the term used for the past 300 years to express the interrelationship between the political and economic affairs of the state. In Theories of Political Economy, first published in 1992, James A. Caporaso and David P. Levine explore some of the more important frameworks for understanding the relationship between politics and economics, including the classical, Marxian, Keynesian, neoclassical, state-centred, power-centred, and justice-centred approaches. The book emphasises both the differences between these frameworks and the issues common to them.

Format:Paperback
This is apparently the best book available that addresses political economy. However it is written in a very boring anner and is very difficult to read. It is also quite dated and does not addresss the concept of globalisation.
This is great for the most hardened of politcal economy students and is a good source, but it is not the best for bedtime reading

Great Summary of Political Economy
11 May 1999
Format:Paperback
This is a very good introduction into the theories of political economy. It covers classical and neo-classical theories, as well as Marxian and Keynesian critiques. Notably missing is Polanyi. Sometimes a bit difficult to read, but then again, this is political economics...

The Theory Behind the Economy
23 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a little dated. **However,** understanding the 'theory' behind interpretations of how political institutions interface (or interlace) with economic processes - and vice versa - is quintessential for the Political Economist. This book goes a long way to helping one do that. Very Good.
