DESCRIPTION:What is the economy\, really? Is it a “market sector\,” a 
 “general equilibrium\,” or the “gross domestic product”? Economics
  today has become so preoccupied with methods that economists risk losing 
 sight of the economy itself. Meanwhile\, other disciplines\, although ofte
 n intent on criticizing the methods of economics\, have failed to articula
 te an alternative vision of the economy. Before the ascent of postwar neoc
 lassical economics\, fierce debates raged\, as many different visions of t
 he economy circulated and competed with one another.\n\nIn The Real Econom
 y\, Jonathan Levy returns to the spirit of this earlier era\, which\, in a
 ll its contentiousness\, gave birth to the discipline of economics. In thi
 s lunchtime book talk\, historian Jonathan Levy will present portions of h
 is new book\, The Real Economy: History and Theory\, published in 2025 by 
 Princeton University Press. Following Levy’s presentation\, Stanford Eco
 nomics Professor Gavin Wright will share prepared comments and questions b
 efore opening the discussion to audience members. For a preview of the dis
 cussion\, please see the book description below.\n\nPlease RSVP for this e
 vent here.\n\nThis event is sponsored by Stanford Global Studies and the S
 tanford Humanities Center.
