Opis

Geoff Harcourt has made substantial and wide ranging contributions to economics in general, and to post Keynesian economics in particular. In this volume more than 40 economists pay tribute to, and critically evaluate, his work. In particular, contributions focus on: the methodological foundations of economic policy making, theoretical and applied analyses of comparative economic systems, and specific issues in economic policy including privatization and unemployment. Contributors are drawn from seven countries and represent a wide range of schools in economics.
