Whatever our own views, Toporowski forces us to look at today’s macroeconomics in a refreshingly new light: highly recommended.’ – David Laidler, University of Western Ontario, US 2020 192 pp Hardback 978 1 78897 214 7 £70.00 / $105.00 Sept 2021 Paperback 978 1 80220 507 7 c £21.95 / c $35.00 eBook • Elgaronline A Modern Guide to Philosophy of Economics Edited by Harold Kincaid, University of Cape Town, South Africa and Don Ross, University College Cork, Ireland; University of Cape Town, South Africa and Georgia State University, US ‘This collection of essays is a naturalist take on modern attitudes to the theory and practice of economics. The contributors are naturalists in the sense that biologists understand the term—they comment on what is actually going on in the world of economic research, and how it fits into a general scheme of things. They are modern in the sense that they are not turning over the same old ground, but genuinely thinking anew about the future of economics. Anybody interested in the philosophy of economics will find plenty to agree and disagree with in this timely collection.’ – Ken Binmore, University College London, UK Aug 2021 384 pp Hardback 978 1 78897 445 5 £125.00 / $185.00 Elgar Modern Guides Handbook on Green Growth Edited by Roger Fouquet, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK ‘While strong opinions often dominate the debate on economic growth versus the environment, this Handbook gives an honest evaluation of conflicting evidence and theories. It provides a splendidly rich variety of interpretations of the green growth idea. The thoughtful extrapolations of historical cases and suggestions for future policies towards the transition to a greener economy – with or without growth – make us aware that green growth is at the heart of the world economy’s future.’ – Sjak Smulders, Tilburg University, the Netherlands 2019 528 pp Hardback 978 1 78811 067 9 £195.00 / $290.00 2021 Paperback 978 1 80220 161 1 £45.00 / $69.95 eBook • Elgaronline Understanding Economic Inequality Bigger Pies and Just Desserts Todd A.
