El espejismo de la economía

Synopsis of El espejismo de la economía

«El espejismo de la economía: Análisis de una ciencia bajo sospecha» is the essay by Luis Martínez de Velasco, published by Editorial Fundamentos in paperback.

Critical analysis of economics and liberalism: the book debunks myths such as the «invisible hand», the primacy of private property, or the harmony supposedly generated by individual interest. Martínez de Velasco draws on Keynes and ethics to defend cooperation against a dogma that, in his view, only leads to social chaos.

Aimed at readers interested in economics, political philosophy, and criticism of capitalism.
