Als economie ons in de steek heeft gelaten, waar zijn dan de nieuwe, frisse perspectieven, duidingen, diagnoses en oplossingen? Decennia lang gekoeioneerd door het imperialisme van Gary Becker en de zijnen – die meenden dat ieder menselijke gedrag gereduceerd kon worden tot de kosten-batenanalyse van die stakker die de pagina’s van de economische handboeken bevolkt: de homo economicus – zou de crisis het moment bij uitstek zijn voor een lekker potje ‘reverse imperialism’.
