Fashioning Prosperous, Sustainable and Humane Societies examines key challenges confronting humanity in the age of financialization and global warming. A distinguished team of political economists analyzes the social conditions that promote human flourishing and how these can be achieved in the face of growing economic, ecological, and societal precarity.

Employing critical perspectives to stress the vital role of governments and civil society, contributors survey past public policies across Asia, Europe, and North and South America. They advance existing literature on Post-Keynesian Institutional economics, exploring the new face of global money-manager capitalism and its consequences for emerging, transitioning, and advanced economies. Ultimately, this timely book outlines a social order free not only from exploitation and authoritarianism, but also from the supremacy of market values.

Students and scholars of political economy, Institutional economics and public policy will find this book to be an essential resource. Policymakers will additionally find its insights both bold and practical.
