The Structure of Post-Keynesian Economics - The Core Contributions of the Pioneers (Hardcover): G.C. Harcourt The Structure of Post-Keynesian Economics - The Core Contributions of the Pioneers (Hardcover)
G.C. Harcourt
R2,992 Discovery Miles 29 920 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This is a major contribution to post-Keynesian thought. With studies of the key pioneers - Keynes himself, Kalecki, Kahn, Goodwin, Kaldor, Joan Robinson, Sraffa and Pasinetti - G. C. Harcourt emphasizes their positive contributions to theories of distribution, pricing, accumulation, endogenous money and growth. The propositions of earlier chapters are brought together in an integrated narrative and interpretation of the major episodes in advanced capitalist economics in the post-war period, leading to a discussion of the relevance of post-Keynesian ideas to both our understanding of economics and to policy-making. The appendices include biographical sketches of the pioneers and analysis of the conceptual core of their discontent with orthodox theories. Drawing on the author's experience of teaching and researching over fifty years, this book will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students interested in alternative approaches to theoretical, applied and policy issues in economics, as well as to teachers and researchers in economics.

G.C. Harcourt, P.A. Riach
R5,855 Discovery Miles 58 550 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Keynes always intended to write "footnotes" to his masterwork "The General Theory, " which would take account of the criticisms it received and allow him to develop and refine his ideas further. However, a number of factors combined to prevent him from doing so before his death in 1946.
A wide range of Keynes scholars--including James Tobin, Paul Davidson and Lord Skidelsky--have written here the "footnotes" that Keynes never did. This second volume contains essays which relate to developments in Keynes scholarship in the years since his death and demonstrates the ongoing validity of the Keynesian tradition.

Capitalism, Socialism and Post-Keynesianism - Selected Essays of G.C. Harcourt (Hardcover): G.C. Harcourt Capitalism, Socialism and Post-Keynesianism - Selected Essays of G.C. Harcourt (Hardcover)
G.C. Harcourt
R3,337 Discovery Miles 33 370 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

G.C. Harcourt has been an instrumental figure in the analysis, synthesis and teaching of economic theory. Erudite, authoritative and insightful, Dr Harcourt's writings have included analysis of contemporary economic theory, synthesis of current debates, intellectual biography and masterly discussion of economic and allied social policies.Capitalism, Socialism and Post-Keynesianism begins with three essays on policy issues: the case for a middle way between command economies and free market economies; the broad principles of macroeconomic policy for Australia in the 1990s; and an integrated set of 'modest proposals' to get the world economy on the path to prosperity. All approaches used in these essays are associated with the broad church of post-Keynesianism and the belief that economics should produce a more just and equitable society. Later essays analyse theoretical topics in an historical context. The remaining papers are a selection of intellectual biographies, and general essays which range from the author's views on the relationship between mathematics and economics to what Adam Smith really did say. As this volume demonstrates, Dr Harcourt is an all-rounder, a political economist who has written on applied issues, theory, policy, intellectual biography and analytical histories of economic theory. Capitalism, Socialism and Post-Keynesianism offers economists at all levels a sense of perspective on policy, theory and the historical development of their discipline, as well as an appreciation of its human face.

G.C. Harcourt; Contributions by Avi J. Cohen, Tiago Mata
R2,975 Discovery Miles 29 750 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The Cambridge Capital Controversy was one of the most significant debates in Twentieth Century economics. First published in 1972, this book provides an accessible reconstruction of the controversy with detailed discussion of the major points raised by its primary protagonists: Piero Sraffa and Joan Robinson on the post-Keynesian side (Cambridge, UK) and Robert Solow and Paul Samuelson on the neo-classical side (Cambridge, MA). The book is now considered to be a classic. This fiftieth anniversary edition comes with a new preface by the author and two new afterwords that reflect on the author's contribution to the field and the significance of the book in the history of economics. Topics covered include the measurement of capital, the revival of interest in Irving Fisher's rate of return on investment, the double-switching debate, Sraffa's prelude to a critique of neoclassical theory, and the 'new' theories of the rate of profits in capitalist society.

Capital theory traditionally spans two major compartments of economic theory: the theory of production of both individual products and the total product, and the theory of the distribution of the aggregate product between the different classes of capitalist society. It has always been controversial, partly because the subject matter is difficult and partly because rival ideologies and value systems impinge directly on the subject matter. In the present book the various topics associated with the exchanges between the 'neo-Keynesians' and the 'neo-neoclassicals' are discussed and evaluated. The topics include the measurement of capital, the revival of interest in Irving Fisher's rate of return on investment, the double-switching debate, Sraffa's prelude to a critique of neoclassical theory, and the 'new' theories of the rate of profits in capitalist society.

Economic Activity (Paperback): G.C. Harcourt, P. H. Karmel, R.H. Wallace Economic Activity (Paperback)
G.C. Harcourt, P. H. Karmel, R.H. Wallace
R1,033 Discovery Miles 10 330 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Economic Activity has its origins in a course of lectures given since 1950 to first-year undergraduates at the University of Adelaide. That course was originally given by P. H. Karmel; in later years the other two co-authors inherited it. Little attention was paid to financial factors in the first-year course. A second-year course of macro-economics (given on several occasions by R. H. Wallace) was built upon the first course, and in this the inter-relationships between the financial and production sectors of the economy were considered in detail. The second-year course was set in the context of the particular institutional framework of the Australian economy, and students were introduced to the relevant statistical material. The book draws upon material from both courses, but the discussion of the financial sector is essentially theoretical.
