This book brings together a number of well-known post-Keynesian scholars who discuss the impact of monetary policy on both personal and functional distribution of income and even the gendered effect of monetary policy.The impact of monetary policy (changes in interest rates) on income distribution is increasingly being recognized as a legitimate channel of monetary policy transmission. The study of this new channel – once the purview of post-Keynesian theory – is an important step in understanding the complicated and myriad effects of central bank policy. The chapters in this book raise a number of other questions about monetary policy that are still underdeveloped in the economic literature. This book is essential reading for students, scholars and policy makers interested in economic policy, monetary theory, income distribution and post-Keynesian economics.The chapters in this book were originally published in the Review of Political Economy.

This timely book answers the question of whether central banks should specifically target the stability of financial systems and if so, what kind of policies should be adopted to prevent or mitigate financial instability.Providing a critical perspective on both central banking and monetary policy, this book examines policies that are used and should be used to prevent instability in the future. Using examples from global financial markets, chapters investigate real-world events that have triggered instability including pandemics and how they have led to a crisis for inflation. Adapting both Minsky’s analysis and the viewpoints of post-Keynesians, the book concludes that central banks should assess their existing approach to targeting inflation as a way of stabilising financial markets.With a particular focus on financial regulations and supervision, this book will be an essential read for academics in the fields of political economy and post-Keynesian economics as well as central bank policy makers.

This informative book discusses the evolution of monetary policy, particularly since the subprime crisis. The contributors analyse diverse examples of the implementation of monetary policies across a range of countries, from those with major central banks such as Canada and Switzerland to developing economies such as Brazil and Nigeria, exploring how the practical workings of these measures can vary.The authors examine the different instruments that can be used to control base interest rates, such as open market operations, reserve requirements and remuneration and rediscount operations. Chapters delve into 11 different case studies, which include monetary policy implementations in China, a reconstruction of the monetary policy framework in Argentina during COVID-19 and an overview of the instruments and procedures used by the European Central Bank. This comprehensive book also provides an overview of the various challenges that can arise in the process of implementing novel strategies.Students and scholars of financial economics and regulation, political economy and money and banking will greatly benefit from this book. With its theoretical insights, it is also a crucial resource for academics in post-Keynesian economics, as well as practitioners in central banking and the financial press.

Inequalities and the Progressive Era features contributors from all corners of the world, each exploring a different type of inequality during the Progressive Era (1890s-1930s). Though this era is most associated with the United States, it corresponds to a historical period in which profound changes and progress are realized or expected all over the globe.The original and international perspectives of the book make it possible to examine important issues or authors of the Progressive Era, who have at times been neglected or insufficiently discussed. This analysis allows us both to know more about this key period of the history of capitalism, and to consider contemporary debates regarding the treatment of inequalities with a pluralistic approach.Academics and students of all levels, from PhD and Master degree students to undergrads will appreciate the original focus on the roots and treatments of inequalities, and this innovative collaboration between researchers of various fields in social sciences.Contributors include: V.

Part of The Elgar Series on Central Banking and Monetary Policy, this book explores the relationship between central banking, monetary policy and income distribution. The usual central bank mandate – that of exclusively fighting inflation – is being increasingly questioned by policymakers and academics. Many countries are finding that there is a need for broader mandates that will have an impact on economic activity, unemployment and other economic issues.The chapters present a multitude of theoretical views on this topic, from classical and Marxist views to mainstream and post-Keynesian approaches. They consider the democratic aspects of central banking, critically assess the distributional outcomes of inflation targeting regimes and explore policymaking implications.Policy makers, academics and the financial press will appreciate the relevance of the material and state of the art discussions featured in Central Banking, Monetary Policy and Income Distribution.

Central Banking, Monetary Policy and Gender uniquely explores the ways in which monetary policies, changes in interest rates and unconventional monetary strategies such as quantitative easing affect women. This groundbreaking book analyses the inner organisation of central banks, considering for the first time how banking transmission mechanisms operate in relation to gender, investigating issues of power, income, wealth inequality and labour market dynamics.Editors Louis-Philippe Rochon, Sylvio Kappes and Guillaume Vallet bring together internationally renowned scholars to present cutting-edge research. Chapters discuss the role of monetary policy in the gender pension gap; the impact of inflation reduction policies on female and male employment rates; the gender politics of comportment in central banking; the inner organisation of central banks and how financial crises can create systemic discrimination. Contributors advocate for looking beyond the traditional roles of central banks, encouraging scholars and practitioners to assess strategies and frameworks from alternative perspectives such as gender to highlight systemic inequalities and campaign for better, more equitable practices going forward.Offering a novel approach to central banking and monetary policy, this book will be invaluable to academics, students and researchers in political economy, feminist economics, and public policy.
