MEME WARS: THE CREATIVE DESTRUCTION OF NEOCLASSICAL ECONOMICS (OCCUPY ECON 101)
Book ID/图书代码： 12070011B50990
English Summary/英文概要： From the editor and magazine that started and named the Occupy Wall Street movement, Occupy Econ 101 lays out the next steps in rethinking and remaking our world with a new economic paradigm. Like Adbusters, the book will be image heavy and full-color throughout, and will include contributions from Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Samuelson, George Akerlof, Lourdes Benería, Julie Matthaei, Manfred Max-Neef, David Orrell, Paul Gilding, Mathis Wackernagel and the father of ecological economics Herman Daly, among others.
Occupy Econ 101 presents a new way of looking at our world that challenges and debunks many of the assumptions of neoclassical economics and brings to light a more ecological model. It takes into account psychonomics, bionomics, and other aspects of our physical and mental environment that are often left out in discussions of economics. Lasn calls it "a textbook for the future" that provides the building blocks, in texts and visuals, for a new way of looking at and changing our world. Through an examination of alternative economies, Lasn hopes to spur students to become "barefoot economists" and to see that a humanization of economics is possible.
Based on ideas that were presented in a special issue of Adbusters entitled “Thought Control in Economics: Beyond the Growth Paradigm / An Activist Toolkit,” Occupy Econ 101 will help move forward the Occupy Wall Street movement.

About the Author/作者介绍： Kalle Lasn是加拿大社會活動組織Adbusters的創辦人。1942年出生於愛沙尼亞，他的童年在德國難民救濟營度過，七歲時舉家移民澳洲並在當地求學成長。長大後在東京創辦一家市場研調公司，並於1970年移民到加拿大，從事社會運動。Kalle Lasn帶領該組織舉辦許多反資本主義的文化反堵活動，例如反消費日(Buy Nothing Day)以及無電視週(TV Turnoff Week)。在Kalle Lasn以及Adbusters遍佈全球的參與者響應之下，「佔領華爾街」運動於2011年9月17日展開。
Kalle Lasn founded Adbusters Magazine in 1989 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he still lives. Lasn has dedicated himself to launching social marketing campaigns such as Buy Nothing Day and TV Turnoff Week, and to fighting legal battles for the right to access the public airwaves, primarily through the anticapitalist tactic of culture jamming. Lasn, along with Adbusters senior editor Micah White and Adbusters’ 90,000-strong global network of activists were the instigators of the first #OccupyWallStreet event on September 17, 2011.
