Ante la crisis profunda que afronta hoy la humanidad, esta obra propone una mirada que cuestiona el abordaje vigente sobre políticas públicas signadas por un dominio de las visiones positivistas o pospositivistas. La propuesta señala las bases de un marco teórico alternativo para las políticas públicas a partir de tres aportes: primero, una visión desde la omnijetividad que implica la noción de participante en el proceso de conocimiento, el reconocimiento de la unidad ser humano/naturaleza y de las lógicas de complejidad en los procesos; segundo, los posicionamientos poscoloniales y decoloniales en la comprensión de la transmodernidad y la unidad de la diversidad de la vida; tercero, el reconocimiento de la democracia como forma de vida con fuerza emancipatoria. Es, en fin, una invitación a reconciliar la academia con la vida

Klappentext: "Around the 1830s, parts of Mexico began industrializing using water and wood. By the 1880s, this model faced a growing energy and ecological bottleneck. By the 1950s, fossil fuels powered most of the Mexico's economy and society. Looking to the north and across the Atlantic, late nineteenth-century officials and elites concluded that fossil fuels would solve Mexico's energy problem and Mexican industry began introducing coal. But limited domestic deposits and high costs mean that coal never became king in Mexico. Oil instead became the favored fuel for manufacture, transport, and electricity generation. This shift, however, created a paradox of perennial scarcity amidst energy abundance: every new influx of fossil energy led to increased demand." --

Keynes' macroeconomic revolution is based on his microfoundations of economic behavior derived from 'casual' observations but impressively substantiated by rigorous research in behavioral economics and neurology. Ronald Schettkat argues that the allegation of the missing microfoundations in Keynes' theory is false. Instead, both Keynes' theory and behavioral economics relate to humans in 'the economy we live in', differing substantially in their fundamentals from the neoclassical model.Showing that Keynes' micro has much in common with Behavioral Economics, the book starts with the fundamentals ranging from the methodological approach to economics as a real versus an axiomatic science and the consequences for knowledge building methods (interviews, observations, experiments), the rationality and equilibrium concepts to the functioning of markets, before delving into the topics in greater detail.Providing a thorough theoretical grounding in economics, this book will be a discerning read for economists, students of economics, political science, sociology and psychology as well as for the general public
