The book examines the persistence of outdated economic ideas, particularly those surrounding market liberalism, which were exposed as flawed by the recent financial crisis. It argues that these "zombie" ideas continue to influence public opinion and policy, posing risks for future economic stability. The author, John Quiggin, advocates for a reevaluation of economic theory, suggesting that merely reverting to Keynesian principles won't suffice. The local edition provides additional insights specific to the Australian context, emphasizing the need for a robust alternative to prevent future crises.
