Marc Lavoie, Professor, Department of Economics, University of Ottawa, Canada

‘Professor Lavoie has written a very delightful and easy to understand primer on Post Keynesian economics.

Placing it within the broader context of heterodox economics, Lavoie shows that Post Keynesian economics makes significant theoretical contributions to microeconomics, macroeconomics, effective demand, employment, and economic growth; and that the contributions are compatible with the contributions of other heterodox approaches.’ - Professor Frederic S. Lee, University of Missouri-Kansas City, USA ‘Marc Lavoie has made many important and original contributions to our understanding of how modern economies work, using a broad post-Keynesian approach.’ - G. C Harcourt, Jesus College, Cambridge, UK This book offers an accessible introduction to post-Keynesian economics, showing that there is an alternative to neoclassical economics and its free-market economic policies. Post-Keynesian economics is founded on realistic assumptions, such as interest targeting by central banks or constant average variable costs in manufacturing and services August 2009 Paperback

’Those looking for a more detailed policy agenda should turn to The Keynes Solution by Paul Davidson. Mr Davidson, an economist who edits the Journal of PostKeynesian Economics, is Keynes’ most faithful academic disciple. He has spent his career explaining why Keynes’ insights demand a fundamental revamping of economics.’

- The Economist Paul Davidson challenges the thirty-year dominance of the free-market system over Keynesianism. He shows how the basic foundation of the Chicago School underlying Greenspan’s policy decisions, as well as the likes of Friedman, Lucas, Scholes and Merton, led to errors that propelled America into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Macroeconomic Theory and Macroeconomic Pedagogy Edited by Giuseppe Fontana, Professor of Monetary Economics, University of Leeds, UK and Mark Setterfield, Professor of Economics, Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, USA

‘Macroeconomic theory has developed rapidly in the last two decades, but undergraduate teaching and textbooks have not kept up. This timely book surveys approaches to improving pedagogy, focusing on a 3-equation model that is similar in spirit to cutting-edge macro theories but accessible to undergraduates.

In addition to its theoretical appeal, the model is better than traditional textbook models for analyzing real-world economic fluctuations.’ Larry Ball, Professor of Economics, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA This book aims to showcase and advance recent debates over the extent to which undergraduate macroeconomics teaching models adequately reflect the latest developments in the field. It contains sixteen essays on topics including the 3-equation New Consensus model, extensions and alternatives to this model, and endogenous money and finance.

Modelling Trends and Cycles in Economic Time Series Terence C. Mills, Professor of Applied Statistics and Econometrics, Department of Economics, Loughborough University, UK

Modelling trends and cycles in economic time series has a long history, with the use of linear trends and moving averages forming the basic tool kit of economists until the 1970s. Several developments in econometrics then led to an overhaul of the techniques used to extract trends and cycles from time series. Terence Mills introduces these various approaches to allow students and researchers to appreciate the variety of techniques and the considerations that underpin their choice for modelling trends and cycles.

Manias, Panics and Crashes A History of Financial Crises 6th edition Charles P. Kindleberger, formerly Ford Professor of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA and Robert Z. Aliber, Professor of International Economics and Finance, University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, USA Forward by Robert M. Solow ‘Charles Kindleberger has written, with great polish and style, an analysis of the stages of financial crises over the last two and a half centuries.’ - Patrick Minford, Economic Journal ‘Manias, Panics and Crashes is a scholarly account for the way that mismanagement of money and credit has led to financial explosions over the centuries.’ - Richard Lambert, Financial Times ‘Professor Kindleberger has the welcome gifts of carrying lightly an immense weight of learning and of always using his imagination in deciding how to deploy it. These gifts are as evident as ever in his latest book.’ - W.Ashworth, Economic History Review ’Underneath the hilarious anecdotes, the elegant epigrams, and the graceful turns of phrase, Kindleberger is deadly serious. The manner in which humans beings earn their livings is no laughing matter to him, especially when they attempt to do so at the expense of one another. As he so effectively demonstrates, manias, panics, and crashes are the consequence of an economic environment that cultivates cupidity, chicanery, and rapaciousness rather than a devout belief in the Golden Rule.’

- Peter L. Bernstein ’Robert Aliber has produced superb update of the classic book by Charles Kindleberger which remains as relevant as ever.’ - Martin Wolf, Financial Times The 6th edition of Manias, Panics and Crashes, is a scholarly and entertaining account, highlighting the four waves of credit bubbles in the last thirty years. Most of these countries that have experienced a bubble also have received money from abroad, which has led to an appreciation of their currencies and an increase in asset prices.

Bain and Howells focus on monetary policy, and in particular the control of short term interest rates, and introduce monetary theory as a means of understanding how, why and when monetary policy works.

The New American Economy The Failure of Reaganomics and a New Way Forward Bruce Bartlett, Economic Historian

Bartlett explains how economic theories that may be perfectly valid at one moment in time under one set of circumstances tend to lose validity over time because they are misapplied under different circumstances. He makes a compelling, historicallybased case for large tax increases, once anathema to him and his economic allies.

The Spectre at the Feast Capitalist Crisis and the Politics of Recession Andrew Gamble, Professor of Politics, University of Cambridge, UK

Mathias Czaika, Economist, University of Freiburg, Germany

‘Lack of economic analysis has long reduced the intellectual and practical value of research on refugees.

This book makes a major contribution to filling that gap. Its rigorous but accessibly presented applications of economic theory and econometrics to forced migration and related policies shed new light on key issues, and will stimulate others to do more research of this type and quality.’ - Professor Adrian Wood, Department of Economics, Oxford University, UK This book explores the determinants of forced migration and its political implications from an economic perspective. It describes the distribution of burdens from forced migration across countries, and analyzes the strategic interaction of national refugee policies to control refugee flows.

Edited by Rania Antonopoulos, Director and Research Scholar and Indira Hirway, Director, Centre for Development Alternatives, both at Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, USA

Daniel Gay, Private UN consultant

‘This innovative volume by a promising young author demonstrates the importance of reflexivity to both the theory and practice of development economics.

This is achieved by methodological argument, developing our understanding of the concept of reflexivity at an abstract level. But it is also achieved by application to two case studies, Vanuatu and Singapore. The work is therefore itself an admirable illustration of its own argument for achieving balance between general argument and attention to particular contexts.’ - Professor Sheila C. Dow, University of Stirling, UK This book outlines a taxonomy of development practice using the notion of reflexivity, and examines it in the case of two countries at opposite ends of the development spectrum: Vanuatu and Singapore. The methodological approach, which gives greater voice to people in developing countries, has practical benefits for economic policy.

INDUSTRIAL AND BUSINESS ECONOMICS • ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS THEORY

The Competitive Advantage of Nations Michael E. Porter, Bishop William Lawrence University Professor, Harvard Business School, USA

‘Michael Porter builds up an all-embracing view of economic change that amounts in the end to a powerful analytical framework...he has done for international capitalism what Marx did for the class struggle.’ The Economist The Competitive Advantage of Nations is one of the most influential business and management books of all time. Michael Porter’s research identified the fundamental determinants of national competitive advantage in an industry and how they work together to give international advantage.

The findings are rich in implications for firms and governments and set the agenda for discussions of global competition. The book was an extraordinary achievement and had a profound effect upon management, policy-makers and academics worldwide. The core ideas of the book remain very relevant today and this new edition includes the original text in full with a new introduction by the author, which reviews the key themes and issues of the book in the light of subsequent developments.

This book represents one of the very few must buys in business and management.

Increasing Returns and Economic Efficiency

Mastering Communication Nicky Stanton, Management Consultant and Trainer in Managerial Development and Communication

Yew-Kwang Ng, Professor of Economics, Monash University, Australia

‘The role of increasing returns in the economy has been studied since the time of Adam Smith, yet it does not accord well with standard theories of competitive equilibrium. Yew-Kwang Ng has now presented in a comprehensive fashion the implications of taking increasing returns seriously and shown how they can be analyzed in a useful and highly original manner.’ - Professor Kenneth Arrow, Nobel Laureate in Economics, Stanford University, USA Recognizing increasing returns disrupts much of the established wisdom in economic analysis, making money non-neutral, equity conflict with freedom, and encouraging goods with increasing returns efficient. This book discusses these problems and ways they can be handled, helping to explain phenomena in the real world.

The socialist thought of ‘Che’ Ernesto Guevara (on top of his heroic guerrilla and internationalist role) has special relevance for the current global economic crisis and the strong resurgence of socialist-inspired ‘alternatives’ in Latin America.’ - Tim Anderson, University of Sydney, Australia Che Guevara remains an iconic figure, four decades after his death.

Michal Kalecki

GREAT THINKERS IN ECONOMICS

Julio López G, Professor, Facultad de Economia, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Mexico and Michael Assous, Professor, Universite Paris 1, France

Series Editor: A.P. Thirlwall

The famous historian E.H. Carr once said that in order to understand history it is necessary to understand the historian writing it. The same could be said of economics. Famous economists often remark that specific episodes in their lives, or particular events that took place in their formative years attracted them to economics. Great Thinkers in Economics is designed to illuminate the economics of some of the great historical and contemporary economists by exploring the interaction between their lives and work, and the events surrounding them.

HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT

Joan Robinson

John Maynard Keynes G. C. Harcourt, Reader in the History of Economic Theory, University of Cambridge, UK; Professor Emeritus, University of Adelaide, Australia and Prue Kerr, University of Adelaide, Australia

‘Joan Robinson is a welcome and timely reminder of Robinson’s intelligence, energy, passionate commitment to social justice, and tireless capacity for debate. It portrays two voyages of intellectual discovery: the evolution of Robinson’s thinking, with a due appreciation for her successes and failures; and Kerr and Harcourt’s own measured re-evaluation of the post-Keynesian revolution in which Robinson and they played central roles. The reconsideration of Joan Robinson’s life and work is one important starting-point in the broad effort to understand the evolution of twentieth-century economics and to imagine a future for economic analysis outside the narrow confines of neoliberal dogma.’

- Duncan K. Foley, Leo Model Professor, New School for Social Research, External Professor, Santa Fe Institute, USA Joan Robinson is widely considered to be amongst the greatest economists of the twentieth 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 economics, her contributions to Labour Party policy and her writings on development, especially China.

Paul Davidson, Visiting Scholar, New School for Social Research, Bernard Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis, USA

‘Global imbalances, the unshackling of capital, the precarious state of modern capitalism: rarely has the world of economics been in more need of the thoughts of John Maynard Keynes.

Although Keynes is no longer with us, this book is the next best thing. Paul Davidson is the leading expert on Keynes and Keynesianism and his book should be read by anybody who wants to understand the world as it is, rather than as the economic text books say it ought to be.’ - Larry Elliott, Economics Editor, The Guardian

Piero Sraffa Alessandro Roncaglia, Professor of Economics, University of Rome, Italy

This book discusses the developments of SraffianRicardian economics, as well as looking at Sraffa’s critique of the Marshallian theory of the firm and the industry, his edition of Ricardo’s Works and correspondence, his book on production of commodities by means of commodities, and his influence Antonio Gramsci and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Contents: Introduction / Early Life and Writings: The Critique of Marshallian Theory / An Italian in Cambridge / Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities / Basic and Non-Basic Products / The Standard Commodity / Critique of the Marginalist Approach / Interpreting Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities / The Sraffa Legacy

This book looks at the life of Keynes leading up to the writing of his seminal General Theory, examines the General Theory in detail and explores how it differs from classical theory. The impact of Keynes’s work on the economy post-war and up to the present day is also assessed.
