Drawing on more than 45 years of experience as an economist and\u003cbr\u003e international educator, Professor Steven Klees delivers a sweeping, accessible examination of how conservatives, liberals, and progressives each see the defining issues of our time, and why the progressive alternative matters now more than ever.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith authority built from decades of research, Klees takes an in-depth look at his specializations: education, economics, poverty and inequality, international development, and capitalism. He also turns his attention to other pressing crises of the modern world:\u003cbr\u003e health care, the climate emergency, and war. Fair to opposing viewpoints yet unflinching in his own argument, he builds a compelling case for structural change grounded in evidence, not ideology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this landmark work of political economy, readers will:\u003cbr\u003e • Understand conservative, liberal, and progressive perspectives on the defining issues\u003cbr\u003e of the 21st century\u003cbr\u003e • Explore a rigorous progressive critique of capitalism, education policy, and global\u003cbr\u003e inequality\u003cbr\u003e • Examine urgent contemporary crises , health care, climate change, and war, through\u003cbr\u003e a political economy lens\u003cbr\u003e • Gain a framework for evaluating policy debates with clarity, fairness, and evidence\u003cbr\u003e • Discover a genuine progressive alternative for rebuilding a fairer, more sustainable\u003cbr\u003e society\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRated 5.0 out of 5 stars by readers. Required reading for anyone who wants to understand both the essence and limitations of conservative and liberal thought while exploring aprogressive perspective on today's most important social, political, and economic\u003cbr\u003e challenges.","brand":"Zer0 Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42967466934527,"sku":"9781789044966","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_954cf184-4849-4494-9bfb-34a256d568b1.jpg?v=1768494512","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781789044966","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
