Essays in Contemporary Economics : A Festschrift in Memory of A. D. Karayiannis

This book is a collection of original essays grouped into four parts under the headings "Greece and European integration," "Issues in the Methodology of Economics," "Institutions and the Free Market Economy," and "Insights for Today from Ancient Greece." The essays appeal to both researchers in the corresponding fields of knowledge and also to policy makers who are looking for ideas and approaches to confront present day challenges.

In particular, given the present state of turmoil in the European Union, the international economy, and democracies in general, most of the essays offer new insights for economic and social policies.
