Kenneth K. Kurihara – författare

First published in 1959, The Keynesian Theory of Economic Development is perhaps the first systematic attempt to apply post-Keynesian dynamic economics to the problems of underdeveloped countries. Professor Kurihara provides a reference book for students of growth theory and some theoretical guidance in industrial planning. He seeks to isolate the significant mechanisms of economic growth in given social cultural conditions, selecting those relations between measurable variables on which the growth of per capita real incomes most depends- to be analysed on assumptions plausible yet simple enough to yield useful results. The book assumes an elementary knowledge of Keynesian and post- Keynesian economics and some experience of elementary mathematical models.

It makes a rigorous analysis of the problem of economic growth in terms of strategic measurable variables so as to assist the practical formation of policy and it gives greater emphasis to analysis than to description, thus departing from the usual method of case study. Professor Kurihara is also concerned that his treatment of various problems of economic development shall always be compatible with the institutions of a free society. This is a must read for students of economics and economic history.

First published in 1956, Introduction to Keynesian Dynamics provides a coherent and compact study of macro-dynamic analysis in general and particularly the two outstanding ‘post Keynesian’ developments in the field- 1) dynamic theories of cyclical fluctuations and 2) secular growth analysis.

Part I of this book provides a general base of reference for substantive analysis. Part II contains fairly definitive materials, dealing as it does with the modus operandi of cyclical fluctuations, the dynamics of inflation and deflation, the stability conditions of equilibrium, a nonlinear model of dynamic switches, the interaction of endogenous and exogenous variables, and international oscillatory processes. Part III explores the technical possibility and difficulty of securing maximum economic growth with minimum instability. The concluding chapter critically examines the twin problems of steady growth for advanced economies and rapid development for underdeveloped economies in a way that would suggest a common solution. This is a must read for students of economics and economic history.

Providing an extensive examination of monetary theory and its implications for public policy, Monetary Theory and Public Policy is as relevant for an understanding of current economic problems as when it was first published. Looking at the concepts of modern economic theory, particularly as these concepts apply to problems of money and banking, both Keynesian and Post-Keynesian developments are discussed.

Collecting together papers from international journals, this book encompasses economics and the philosophical, historical, technical and practical facets of the real world. Grouped together in three separate, yet related parts, the essays deal with ''Problems of Developed Economies'', ''Problems of Developing Economies'' and ''International Prosperity and Progress''. Reviews of relevant books by Roy Harrod, T. Haavelmo, W. A. Lewis and T. Barna have been included as appendices. Truly international in its coverage and sources, this collection includes articles from the USA, Japan, the UK, India, Italy, Switzerland and Jamaica.

This volume, originally published in 1964, is intended for students of macroeconomic theory and mathematical programming. Part 1 includes critical discussion of debates from the 1950s and 60s in the related fields of income-employment , trade cycles and general prices, with an ultimate view to extending macroeconomic analysis and policy beyond the conventional purview; Part 2 suggests various possible macro applications of mathematical programming techniques to optimization problems, with a secondary view to forwwarding the synthesis of aggregative economic theory and multisectoral input-output analysis.
