GALBRAITH Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Chair in Government/Business Relations and Professor of Government The University of Texas at Austin USA<p>Professor Vladimer Papava has lived through major upheavals such as a post-socialist transition and a global financial crisis keeping an eye on the developments from his vantage point in Tbilisi Georgia. The stimulating essays that have resulted from his observations collected in this volume share a heterodox stance one that showcases appreciation for-and creative destruction of-mainstream economics. Economists and other social scientists will be introduced to novel promising approaches which themselves derive from an enviably wide-ranging examination of the international literature. Just as we learn in Professor Papava's essays how to avoid a post-socialist 'necroeconomy' (where production of goods with no demand continues) the volume itself helps protect us against a necroeconomic scientific discipline.
