"Political economy" has been the term used for the past 300 years to
express the interrelationship between the political and economic affairs
of the state. In Theories of Political Economy, James A. Caporaso and
David P. Levine explore some of the more important frameworks for
understanding the relation between politics and economics, including the
classical, Marxian, Keynesian, neoclassical, state-centered,
power-centered, and justice-centered. The book emphasizes understanding
both the differences among the overall frameworks of the theories and
the issues common to them.
