Post Keynesian Economics. Key Debates and Contending Perspectives - Therese Jefferson;John E. King

Bringing together distinguished experts from across the globe, Post Keynesian Economics: Key Debates and Contending Perspectives discusses the profound questions of heterodox economic theory and the far-reaching implications for economic policy. Chapters consider the relationship between Post Keynesianism and other schools of heterodox economics; modern monetary theory and its links to Post Keynesian economics; as well as exploring issues of gender, race, climate change, and the growth of inequality in the distribution of income and wealth. In a time of global financial and political uncertainty, this book presents alternative views on monetary theory and policy, providing a much-needed antidote to ongoing economic debates.

This book will be of great interest to students, academics and researchers focussing on heterodox economics, Post Keynesian economics, and the history of economic thought. Highlighting the critical relationships between finance, politics and sociology, this book will also be beneficial to academics and researchers interested in sociology, politics and political science.
