Biography
Yahya M. Madra teaches Economics at Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, Turkey. He has published and co-authored articles on various issues in political economy in both edited book volumes and journals.
'Late neoclassical economics may be more mature than neoclassical economics, but it is not different from neoclassical economics as it has been practiced before...Madra succeeds in presenting a very clear and concise thesis which is highly relevant and interesting. His argumentation is straightforward, convincing and precise. The leitmotiv of the investigation never gets lost.' - Thomas Domjahn, History of Economics Review
