Opis

This volume brings together papers inspired by the work of Duncan Foley, an extraordinarily productive economist who has made seminal contributions to a wide variety of areas. Foley's work cannot be easily classified, but one thread that runs through it is a critical examination of conventional neoclassical economic theory, particularly involving general equilibrium theories of value and money.
