Institutionalist political economy

Institutionalist political economy

Institutional political economy refers to a body of political economic thought in distinction from institutional economics stemming from the works of Thorstein Veblen, John Commons, Wesley Mitchell, John Dewey and more recent political economists such as Geoffrey Hodgson, Jonathan Nitzan, Shimshon Bichler and Ha-Joon Chang.

Thinkers in Institutional political economy distinguish themselves Fact|date=July 2008. from New Institutional economists who attempt to incorporate institutions and information into neoclassical economics. Instead, institutional political economists believe that economics cannot be separated from the political and social system within which it is embedded.Fact|date=July 2008
