  • Pluralist Economics

    This book is an authoritative and accessible guide to the pluralist movement threatening to revolutionise mainstream economics. Leading figures in the field explain why pluralism is a required virtue in economics, how it came to be blocked and what it means for the way we think about, research and teach economics.

    The first part of the book looks at how neoclassical economics gained its stranglehold, particularly in the United States, and how the social and intellectual underpinnings of economics have enabled it to maintain this in the face of inconsistent evidence from the real world. This is then contrasted with different approaches to pluralism. Pluralist Economics then goes on to address the array of arguments for establishing pluralism, showing how economics came to function as a concealed ideology and not as a science, and how value-free economics is an illusion. Finally, it addresses the practical problems presented by this different way of doing economics.

  • Sticky Marketing : Why Everything in Marketing Has Changed and What to do About It

    We live in a world were people have become empowered. Consumers can contact companies directly and they can talk to each other with a powerful voice they never had before. Sticky Marketing takes into account these fundamental changes and provides a new set of rules for effective communications in a world transformed by new technology. It introduces a new model of customer engagement and asks ‘not what your marketing can do for you, but what your marketing can do for your customer’. Companies have to move away from the old marketing system of shouting messages at people to attracting them by providing value around their product or service – in other words by becoming ‘sticky’ or attractive. Grant Leboff argues that it is not ‘return on investment’ that matters but ‘return on engagement’, not your unique sales point (or USP), but your customer engagement point (your CEP), that will make the difference in today’s cluttered marketplace.
