this book is also available as eBook (PDF)The interviews with unconventional economists published in this book are reprints from a bi-annual Germany-/Austria-based journal which started as INTERVENTION. Zeitschrift für Ökonomie / Journal of Economics in 2004 and which was re-launched with Metropolis Publisher in 2008 as INTERVENTION. European Journal of Economics and Economic Policies.
The unconventional economists interviewed for the journal from 2004 to 2012 are leading and well-known experts in their fields of research and they have contributed to the development of non-neoclassical economics to a significant degree. Especially for the younger generation of critical economists their work is of particular interest and a point of reference.

"Die im vorliegenden Buch zusammengestellten Interviews mit 17 WirtschaftswissenschafterInnen, denen das Bemühen um Alternativen zur Neoklassik beziehungsweise zum Neoliberalismus gemeinsam ist, wurden zwischen 2004 und 2012 geführt. Anthony Atkinson, Barbara R. Bergmann und Amit Bhaduri plädieren für eine staatliche Wirtschaftspolitik, die Einkommensungleichheiten korrigiert und soziale Gerechtigkeit und Sicherheit anpeilt, während Diane Elson die Komponenten feministischer Ökonomie darlegt. Jürgen Kromphardt erläutert, warum Deutschland keinen Grund hat, Löhne zu senken. Unter den interviewten ÖkonomInnen befinden sich weiters Philip Arestis, Charles A.E. Goodhart, Geoffrey C. Harcourt, John E. King, Jan Kregel, Kaziemiersk Laski, Stephen Marglin, Basil Moore, Hajo Riese, Kurt W. Rothschild und Malcolm Sawyer."
