Human-Centred Economics: The Living Standards of Nations

Palgrave Macmillan, ILO

This book examines the chronic underperformance of economies with respect to inclusion, sustainability and human and systemic resilience. It proposes a reformulation of macroeconomic theory and policy to explicitly internalize the role of policies and institutions that enable them. Correcting the imbalance of emphasis in modern economic theory and policy between markets and institutions, production and distribution, and national income and household living standards is the single most important step required to transcend 20th century trickle-down “neoliberalism” and replace it with a more human-centred model of economic progress in the 21st century.
