Annual Supplement to Volume 27.

The Dynamics of Keynesian Monetary Growth: Macro Foundations
by Carl Chiarella, Peter Flaschel. 409 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

This book is in the tradition of non-market-clearing approaches to macrodynamic economics. It shows for the first time that macrodynamics can be developed and investigated in a systematic fashion, leading to coherent models of fluctuation growth. This differs considerably from the microfounded full equilibrium approaches that are currently fashionable. Using sophisticated mathematical tools, it investigates complex macrodynamic feedback mechanisms in a systematic way, showing how macrodynamics can be developed in a hierarchical way from economically simple structures to more advanced ones.

Keynes: A Critical Life
by David Felix. 348 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

Only a person of Keynes's unique character could have achieved what he did. After teaching neoclassical economics for two decades, he developed an extraordinary theory--extraordinary in that it built upon the theoretical complex he intended to overthrow and extraordinary in that it provided the best guidance for defeating the Depression of the 1930s and managing an economy thereafter. This biography shows how Keynes's personality left its stamp on his ideas, the connections between his all-too-human quirks and his theorizing, between his dominating personality and his success as a policymaker. Although sympathetic to the man, his aims, and his accomplishments, this is the first critical biography of John Maynard Keynes.
