Joseph Halevi, Geoff Harcourt, Peter Kriesler and J. W. Nevile
bring together a collection of their most influential papers on
post-Keynesian thought. Their work stresses the importance of the
underlying institutional framework, of the economy as a historical
process and, therefore, of path determinacy. In addition, their
essays suggest the ultimate goal of economics is as a tool to
inform policy and make the world a better place, with better being
defined by an overriding concern with social justice. Volume I
analyses the contributions of Keynes, Harrod and Kalecki.

This volume is a debate about a sociology and economics of money: a
form of positive trespassing. It is unique in being written by
scholars of both disciplines committed to this mutual venture and
in starting from the original groundwork laid by Geoffrey Ingham.
The contributors look critically at money's institutions and the
meanings and history of money-creation and show the cross cutting
purposes or incommensurable sides of money and its crises. These
arise from severe tensions and social conflicts about the
production of money and its many purposes. We demonstrate the
centrality of money to capitalism and consider social disorders
since the 2007 crisis, which marks the timeliness and need for
dialogue. Both disciplines have far too much to offer to remain in
the former, damaging standoff. While we are thankful to see a
possible diminution of this split, remnants are maintained by
mainstream economic and sociological theorists who, after all the
crises of the past 30 years, and many before, still hold to an
argument that money really does not 'matter'. We suggest, to many
different and interested audiences, that since money is a promise,
understanding this social relation must be a joint though plural
task between economics and sociology at the very least.

The Making of a Post-Keynesian Economist: Cambridge Harvest gathers
up the threads of the last decade of the author's twenty eight
years in Cambridge, before his return to Australia. The essays

intellectual biographies and tributes, and general essays.

Joan Robinson is widely considered to be amongst the greatest
economists of the 20th Century. This book provides a comprehensive
study of her life and work, examining her role in the making of The
General Theory, her critical interest in Marxian eocnomics, her
contributions to Labour Party policy and her writings on
development, especially China.
The author reviews retrospectively his developing ideas on theory
and policy since he first encountered Keynes's writings in 1950.
Topics covered include: Keynes now, specifically the coming back
into favour of his most fundamental ideas; intellectual biographies
and shorter tributes to economists; and a survey of Post-Keynesian
thought.
In the title essay of this classic collection, the author reviews retrospectively his developing ideas on theory and policy since he first encountered Keynes' writings in 1950. The essays in Section One are concerned with Keynes now, specifically the coming back into favor of his most fundamental ideas. Sections Two and Three contain intellectual biographies and shorter tributes to economists, most of whom were friends and colleagues of the author. Section Four covers three review articles of the Feiwell volumes on Joan Robinson, 50 years of NBE, and Nicholas Kaldor's last book. Section Five is a survey of Post-Keynesian thought; Section Six, General Essays, starts with a paper written in 1980 as a passionate reaction to the world-wide rise of monetarism and new classical macroeconomics theories and policies and closes with an essay on the Cambridge contribution to economics.
This volume contains classic essays on economic policy written by
one of its great exponents. The opening essay traces the author's
evolving structures of thought about economics and the policy
proposals that came from them over this period. Section 2 contains
essays which set the background to the policy recommendations. In
section 3 the role of investment incentives is analysed. Section 4
is concerned with the influence of accounting conventions on
private decision-making and government policy in both capitalist
and planned economies. Section 5 contains a number of package
deals, all designed to fit within the constraint of the philosophy
of governments in power. The last section, general essays, ranges
from a scheme for the payment of prisoners to the celebration of
the views on policy of great economists, from Colin Clark, through
Nicky Kaldor to John Cornwall.

This collection of essays attempts to evaluate Luigi Pasinetti's
contribution and to give new insights into the issues which he has
illuminated. The volume also provides a general assessment of the
significance of a number of key issues of the 'pure' Post-Keynesian
School of economic thought, which has, and still has, its strong
hold in the University of Cambridge, and to which Luigi Pasinetti
has become the 'senior heir' since the deaths of the founding
members, Piero Sraffa, Joan Robinson, Nicholas Kaldor and Richard
Kahn in the 1980s.
