A Modern Guide to Post-Keynesian Institutional Economics, by Charles J. Whalen

ISBN: 978 1 80088 574 5
A Modern Guide to Post-Keynesian Institutional Economics (Edward Elgar) has recently been released. Edited by AFEE member Charles J. Whalen, the book also contains chapters written by Whalen and several other AFEE members.
The book seeks to advance Post-Keynesian Institutional economics, an integrative tradition bridging Institutional and Post Keynesian economics. The tradition proved its worth by addressing the global financial crisis of 2007–2009, as well as by analyzing long-term trends accompanying the evolution of investor-driven (’money manager’) capitalism, including financialization, spreading worker insecurity, and rising inequality.
This Modern Guide begins with the history and contours of Post-Keynesian Institutionalism, and then breaks new ground, extending recent analyses of contemporary economic problems, sharpening concepts and methods, sketching new theories, and synthesizing ideas across research traditions. Written by leading scholars, this authoritative collection identifies policy-relevant frontiers—on matters ranging from social capital and economic democracy to feminism and environmental sustainability—thereby setting an ambitious agenda for further Post-Keynesian Institutionalist research.
