Beskrivning

The themes of this important new volume were chosen to mark the 75th anniversary of the publication of The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. The distinguished authors concentrate on the relevance of this seminal publication for macroeconomic theory, method and the politics of today. This is particularly pertinent as similarities with the 1930s are striking in terms of unemployment, low growth, financial fragility and the European monetary union resembling the gold standard.Illustrating new ways of understanding the importance of uncertainty in macroeconomics, particularly in view of the importance of finance and balance of payments imbalances within a monetary union, this book will prove a stimulating and challenging read for academics, researchers and students of macroeconomics, heterodox economics, and the methodology and history of economic thought.Contributors include: A. Carabelli, E. De Antoni, J. Galbraith, M. Hayes, J. Jespersen, M. Laine, N. Levy-Orlik, M.O. Madsen, T.D. Togati, A. Truger, J. Uxó, S. Voss

'At a time of renewed interest in Keynes, this volume provides an illuminating and forward-looking collection of papers. They explain the meaning of Keynes's great contribution and also show how that contribution can be developed further for application to modern economic policy issues. Most important, the papers explain the ways in which Keynes's methodological approach is so different from that which continues to dominate mainstream economics and how productive it would be if that approach were applied to our modern experience.'
