Paul Davidson

Open publisher page 77 citations

Abstract

John King has written a powerful, interesting, and useful History of Post Keynesian Economics . King states that although Post Keynesian theory mounted a major challenge to orthodox macroeconomics in the last few decades, it has “ultimately failed to supplant it” (2002, p. 1). The object of this book is to explain (determine?) why Post Keynesianism did not supplant orthodox macroeconomics (p. 1). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
