Book Description:
As a sub-discipline of economics, the emergence of structural economics is quite a recent phenomenon. I did not hear of the saying of structural economics until 1990s; instead, what crossed my mind was structuralism in economics. The founder of economic structuralism is Raúl Prebisch, the renowned left-wing economist and director of Economic Commission for Latin America. Structural economics is a school of development economics which emphasizes structural features of an economy, rather than a sub-discipline in economics. Lance Taylor, professor of Harvard University, published his eminent book Structuralist Macroeconomics in 1983. He made his purpose clear at the beginning of the book, “In an economy, if its system and behaviors of its members make some particular pattern of resource allocation and evolution much more likely to happen, then that economy has a structure.” In other words, any economy features a specific system with members of not only economic people, but also political and social people. Economic theories should not simply be the problem concerning the maximization of a series of relationships among economic people or the set of discussions of solutions to those problems. However, Taylor did not specialize in the system and structure of a particular economy. Though his book Structuralist Macroeconomics once captured people’s attention, it has never been accessible to the mainstream of economics. It was in 1990s that structural economics officially came into being.
