Zusammenfassung:"This volume focuses on economics--a discipline fundamentally concerned with effective coordination, but one that has evolved significantly over the last half century. It presents the reflections of eight senior members of the economics profession who have all taught at some time at Carleton University in Ottawa, and therefore share a certain Carleton spirit characterized by a high degree of critical thinking and a deep commitment to making economics socially and politically useful. The Carleton Eight have operated from quite different quarters in the broad field of what used to be called political economy, and have experienced differently the pulls and pushes of their discipline over the last 50 years. Indeed, most of them have transformed their practice accordingly. We have asked them to speculate on the evolution of economics from their own perspectives, and on how it might contribute to ensuring more effective coordination and better governance in the future.
