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.
Philip Arestis: Unless we have some kind of United States of Europe, I do not think we can hope for proper economic policies
Anthony Atkinson: Policy can counter inequality
Barbara R. Bergmann: We have to turn the world into Sweden
Amit Bhaduri: What we need is a better world to live in!
Paul Davidson: We have to change the rules
Diane Elson: Most heterodox economists still think that feminist questions relate to 'special issues'
Charles A.E. Goodhart: Minsky I find enormously attractive but his issues are very difficult to model in any rigorous way
Geoffrey C. Harcourt: The General Theory is not a book that you should read in bed!
John E. King: The reform of capitalism is a) possible and b) very desirable
Jan Kregel: I had so many feet in so many camps
Jürgen Kromphardt: There is no reason why Germany should generally reduce wages
Kazimierz Laski: Life is stronger than dogma
Stephen Marglin: We have to wake up and smell the flowers
Basil Moore: We are all Horizontalists now!
Hajo Riese: Germany's high unemployment is the price
it is paying for its economic miracle
Kurt W. Rothschild: Its halo may be a little tarnished, but neo-liberalism is still very powerful
Malcolm Sawyer: I often find myself now basing my analysis
very much on what Kalecki himself wrote sixty or seventy years ago

"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."
