This message was brought home forcibly by the 2008 global economic crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRethinking Economic Policy for Social Justice\u003c\/em\u003e shows how human rights have the potential to transform economic thinking and policy-making with far-reaching consequences for social justice. The authors make the case for a new normative and analytical framework, based on a broader range of objectives which have the potential to increase the substantive freedoms and choices people enjoy in the course of their lives, and not upon narrow goals such as the growth of gross domestic product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book covers a range of issues including inequality, fiscal and monetary policy, international development assistance, financial markets, globalisation, and economic instability. This new approach allows for a complex interaction between individual rights, collective rights and collective action, as well as encompassing a legal framework which offers formal mechanisms through which unjust policy can be protested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis highly original and accessible book will be essential reading for human rights advocates, economists, policy-makers, and those working on questions of social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607507976428,"sku":"9781138829145","price":388.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8c3923778bf2904c3f34b09fce1979ce.jpg?v=1778188798"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/james-heintz.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
