Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Without doubt, Keynes was a complex, many-sided genius whose analyses were constantly playing catch-up with his intuition. Amadeo's book is indeed a very important contribution to an enhanced understanding of this process as it pertains to Keynes's two premier contributions to economic theory - the TM [Treatise on Money] and the GT [General Theory].' - Richard X. Chase, Journal of Economic Issues 'I think that this is an outstanding piece of work, doing an excellent job of tracing the evolution of Keynes's own thought and questioning the conventional interpretation of the transition from the Treatise on Money to the General Theory.' - Lance Taylor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US
Download or read book The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money written by John Maynard Keynes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was originally published by Macmillan in 1936. It was voted the top Academic Book that Shaped Modern Britain by Academic Book Week (UK) in 2017, and in 2011 was placed on Time Magazine's top 100 non-fiction books written in English since 1923. Reissued with a fresh Introduction by the Nobel-prize winner Paul Krugman and a new Afterword by Keynes’ biographer Robert Skidelsky, this important work is made available to a new generation. The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money transformed economics and changed the face of modern macroeconomics. Keynes’ argument is based on the idea that the level of employment is not determined by the price of labour, but by the spending of money. It gave way to an entirely new approach where employment, inflation and the market economy are concerned. Highly provocative at its time of publication, this book and Keynes’ theories continue to remain the subject of much support and praise, criticism and debate. Economists at any stage in their career will enjoy revisiting this treatise and observing the relevance of Keynes’ work in today’s contemporary climate.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Chapter 3 of the General Theory, Keynes sketches out what he calls the essence of the General Theory of Employment. He introduces the Keynesian expenditure-based model, the aggregate demand curve and also his aggregate supply function, a concept which spawned much debate among Post-Keynesian economists but which was, for a long time, virtually ignored in mainstream macroeconomics. He sets out the Savings=Investment version of Say's Law and outlines how an economy can settle into an equilibrium at less than full employment.

This book was released on 1991-06-28 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes Keynes's writing on his General Theory accessible to students by presenting this theory in a careful, consistent manner that is faithful to the original. Keynes's theory continues to be important, because the issues it raised, such as the problems of involuntary unemployment, the volatility of investment, and the complexity of monetary arrangements in modern capitalist economies, are still with us. Keynes's method of analysis, which tries to allow for the complications of dealing with historical time, deserves the careful attention given in this book. Keynes's formal analysis dealt only with a short period of time during which changes in productive capacity as a result of net investment were small relative to initial productive capacity. Roy Harrod and Joan Robinson were the two most prominent followers of Keynes who attempted to extend his analysis to the long period by allowing for the effects of investment on productive capacity as well as on effective demand. The careful examination of their writings on this topic is a natural complement to the presentation of Keynes's General Theory and makes clear the severe limitations on any use of equilibrium concepts in dealing with accumulation in models that try to observe Keynes's warnings about an unknowable future in the type of world we inhabit.

Download or read book Capitalism written by Anwar Shaikh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 1019 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthodox economics operates within a hypothesized world of perfect competition in which perfect consumers and firms act to bring about supposedly optimal outcomes. The discrepancies between this model and the reality it claims to address are then attributed to particular imperfections in reality itself. Most heterodox economists seize on this fact and insist that the world is characterized by imperfect competition. But this only ties them to the notion of perfect competition, which remains as their point of departure and base of comparison. There is no imperfection without perfection. In Capitalism, Anwar Shaikh takes a different approach. He demonstrates that most of the central propositions of economic analysis can be derived without any reference to standard devices such as hyperrationality, optimization, perfect competition, perfect information, representative agents, or so-called rational expectations. This perspective allows him to look afresh at virtually all the elements of economic analysis: the laws of demand and supply, the determination of wage and profit rates, technological change, relative prices, interest rates, bond and equity prices, exchange rates, terms and balance of trade, growth, unemployment, inflation, and long booms culminating in recurrent general crises. In every case, Shaikh's innovative theory is applied to modern empirical patterns and contrasted with neoclassical, Keynesian, and Post-Keynesian approaches to the same issues. Shaikh's object of analysis is the economics of capitalism, and he explores the subject in this expansive light. This is how the classical economists, as well as Keynes and Kalecki, approached the issue. Anyone interested in capitalism and economics in general can gain a wealth of knowledge from this ground-breaking text.

Download or read book Keynes and Marx written by Bill Dunn and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keynes was an elitist and pro-capitalist economist, whom the left should embrace with caution. But his analysis provides a concreteness missing from Marx and engages with critical issues of the modern world that Marx could not have foreseen. This book argues that a critical Marxist engagement can simultaneously increase the power of Keynes’s insight and enrich Marxism. To understand Keynes, whose work is liberally invoked but seldom read, Dunn explores him in the context of the extraordinary times in which he lived, his philosophy, and his politics. By offering a detailed overview of Keynes’s critique of mainstream economics and General Theory, Dunn argues that Keynes provides an enduringly valuable critique of orthodoxy. The book develops a Marxist appropriation of Keynes’s insights, arguing that a Marxist analysis of unemployment, capital and the role of the state can be enriched through such a critical engagement. The point is to change the world, not just to understand it. Thus the book considers the prospects of returning to Keynes, critically reviewing the practices that have come to be known as ‘Keynesianism’ and the limits of the theoretical traditions that have made claim to his legacy.
Download or read book Capital and Employment written by Murray Milgate and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Political Economy: Capital and Employment: A Study of Keynes's Economics focuses on the inquiry into Keynesian economics, particularly the relationship of capital and employment. The publication first underscores the contemporary position of 'Keynesian' economics, traditional long-period method of economic analysis, and theoretical systems and the long-period method. Discussions focus on the structure of classical economic theory, structure of marginalist economic theory, and the traditional long-period method of economic analysis. The text then ponders on the analysis of deviations from long-period positions, principle of effective demand, and the theory of capital and theory of employment. Topics include Keynes on the 'classical' theory of interest, capital and employment, inflexibility of money-wages, long-period theory of output and employment, and principle of effective demand. The book takes a look at the theoretical system of the treatise versus the general theory and the method of analysis in the treatise and the general theory, including the conceptual framework of the treatise on money and general theory and the natural rate of interest and level of employment. The publication is a valuable reference for economists and researchers interested in the relationship of capital and employment.

This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The standard view of the economics profession is that Keynes was a brilliant, intuitive, non-rigorous innovator who was unable to apply formal mathematical analysis in his work. These essays show that Keynes backed up his "intuitions" with a rigorous mathematical and logical supporting analysis which has been overlooked by the economics profession for 70 years.The most likely reason that this occurred is that the ECONOMICS PROFESSION HAS ACCEPTED AS TRUE A NUMBER OF CANARDS CONCOCTED BY RICHARD KAHN, JOAN ROBINSON, AND AUSTIN ROBINSON that claimed that Keynes was a poor mathematician by 1927, who had never taken the 20 minutes that were necessary to master the theory of value(microeconomics).The result was that Keynes made all kinds of mathematical errors in his analysis of the aggregate supply function, Z, that his mentor, Richard Kahn, was not able to catch because Keynes had published the book prematurely. This is an abridged edition of my 2004 book, " Essays on J M Keynes and..." that concentrates on Keynes& acute; s mathematical modeling of his theory of effective demand in chapters 20 and 21 of his General Theory(1936).I have added three new essays.The fundamental result of the book is to demonstrate mathematically that Keynes had a complete microeconomic foundation for his macroeconomic theory built on the theory of purely competitive firms.There are two different but complementary models in the GT.They are the Y-Multiplier model of chapter 10[Y=PO; Y=C+I=bY(or C=a+bY)+(1-b)Y], where Y is actual or realized nominal aggregate demand and P is the actual price level, and the expected D-Z model of chapters 3,20, and 21[D=pO and Z=wN+P], where p is the expected price, D is the expected, nominal aggregate demand, and P is the expected economic profit.This model is explicitly discussed by Keynes in straightforward English in chapter 3 and mathematically analyzed in chapters 20 and 21.Any reader who can integrate the derivatives presented by Keynes in ft.2, pp.55-56 or fts.1 and 2 on p.283 of the GT, can obtain this model.Keynes puts both of his models together to obtain his generalized version of classical and neoclassical theory, w/p=mpl/(mpc+mpi), where mpl is the marginal product of labor in the aggregate derived from an aggregated neoclassical production function(pp.283,285 of the GT), w/p is the expected real wage, mpc is the marginal propensity to spend on consumption goods, and mpi is the marginal propensity to spend on investment goods.If mpc+mpi=mpc+mps=1, where mps is the marginal propensity to save, Keynes& acute; s general result simplifies to the standard neoclassical result that w/p=mpl defines a full employment equilibrium with only frictional and voluntary unemployment.On the other hand, if mpc+mpi< 1, one of a number of possible unemployment equilibriums occurs which labor, in the aggregate, will be unable to eliminate because, in this case, the money wage must be increased, not decreased.Keynes is the first economist in history to analyze a set of stable, macroscopic, multiple equilibria.The technical result is discussed in literary fashion on pp.261-262 of the GT in chapter 19 for those 1930& acute; s economists who lacked mathematical training in the differential and integral calculus.Keynes would be shocked to discover that the economics profession has, for the last 70 years contended either that (a)there is no mathematical model of Keynes& acute; s theory in the GT that incorporates microeconomic foundations or(b)there is a model in the GT, but it is filled with all types of mathematical errors.Anyone trained in calculus at the lower division, undergraduate level can discover for himself that both (a) and (b) are false.
