The climate of opinion among economists recently seems to have shifted in favour of the view that the Keynesian style of economic management does not work in industrial capitalism. This has provided an opportunity for various related doctrines like 'monetarism' and 'supply-side economies' to surface as contending views. They argue that the Keynesian view of economic management is theoretically defective and a better alternative is to rely less on economic intervention by the State and more on the market mechanism. This textbook brings into focus the radical content of Keynesianism by concentrating on the common macroeconomic tradition of Marx, Kalecki and Keynes. It shows how Marx's method of analysis in terms of 'historical categories' naturally leads to an analysis of capitalist commodity production under the principle of effective demand.

This important book challenges conventional development theory by addressing not only technological but also socio-economic factors influencing low agricultural productivity in the developing world.Agricultural productivity has long been regarded as a fundamental factor in influencing economic development, yet relatively little research has examined the causes of stagnated and low agricultural productivity in developing countries. This book goes beyond the traditional discussion of low productivity being primarily determined by technological factors, and addresses the more complex determinants. Special attention is given to the influences of ecology and environmental degradation, the distribution of political power and socio-economic factors, as well as possibilities for biotechnology. The authors have been drawn from an international arena and transcend traditional academic disciplines combining historical, statistical and formal analysis for a better understanding of critical development issues. Economic Development and Agricultural Productivity will be of special interest to development and agricultural economists and policymakers.
