Review :
'This is a fascinating book of the personal stories of how heterodoxy re-emerged, evolved, survived and developed. It makes great reading, not only for sheer enjoyment, but also for gaining insight into the major concerns, theories and policies of dissenting political economy. It is a 'must buy' for anyone interested in alternative perspectives of economy and society, and it is essential for every university library. The editors have done a great job in bringing to life the main concerns of the dissenters in a humanistic fashion. The revival of heterodox political economy commenced in earnest in the 1960s and it is now maturing. Also, its various schools are starting to recognise the many unifying or complementary aspects of its development. This volume provides many insights into the critical concerns likely to become more important in the future, as an increasing number of economists recognise the importance of a broader study of the social and political foundations of production, distribution and exchange, and the reproduction of the institutions underlying such activities.'
