ABSTRACT

Chapter 1 guides the reader into the closed world of complacency economics, often regarded as Mainstream Economics, by not only focusing on how the reality concept of such an economic worldview has created and maintained a sort of echo bubble but also by identifying major tectonic fault lines in its reality concept. It also dwells on what kind of fresh air (alternative, more complexity-oriented views and understanding of socio-economic reality) is out there, waiting to be incorporated.
