Dennis Robertson
This book provides a comprehensive overview of Robertson's life and work. Uncovering the sources of Robertson's inspiration and ideas and the all-important causal relationship between the man and his work, this fascinating account is a must-read for all interested in rediscovering this great economist.
Understanding Dennis Robertson
Fletcher (economics, The University of Liverpool, UK) explores the relationship between the life and work of a British economist, Sir Dennis Holme Robertson (1890-1963). Drawing on previously unpublished material, biographical and literary evidence, and a fresh reading of Robertson's principal books and essays, Fletcher argues that Robertsonian economics is influenced by Robertson the man, and shows that this is particularly the case with respect to the way in which Robertson's thought developed and to its particular characteristics. He offers a new account of Robertson's breach with his Cambridge colleague J. M. Keynes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Robertson on Economic Policy
Examines the work of Dennis Holme Robertson in the field of economics. Chapters examine his life as well as his policy papers, including his study of industrial fluctuations and the role of persuasion in economic affairs. A selection of his poems is also included.
The Making of Keynes' General Theory
This 1984 book describes the development of thought, both of Keynes and others, culminating in the publication in 1936 of Keynes' General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. As one of Keynes' close collaborators - from December 1929, when the writing of the Treatise was nearing its completion - Richard Khan provides a uniquely insightful analysis of these events. The author starts with a brief survey of the contributions influential in forming Keynes' early ideas, and moves on to explore the significance of the Quantity Theory of Money, and traces the development of Keynes' attitude towards the theory through his published books. Subsequent lectures are devoted to Keynes' Treatise on Money, and to his more popular writings as an economic adviser which marked the transition from the thinking in the Treatise to that in the General Theory which the author critically examines. The final lecture records the author's memory of his personal relationship with Keynes.
Arndt's Story
This was a man of inexhaustible energy and optimism, who returned from months behind barbed wire in Canada, and went on to write The Economic Lessons of the Nineteen Thirties. He took up a job in Sydney, and quickly established himself as a leading authority on the Australian banking system.
On Political Economists and Political Economy
Included in this volume are papers which are recognized as some of the foundations of post-Keynesian Economics, analysing problems set in historical time and starting from 'real world' observations. The book reflects Geoff Harcourt's contribution to economic debate over more than three decades. It also includes intellectual biographies of some of the most prominent and leading unorthodox economists, such as Kenneth Boulding, Eric Russell and Lorie Tarshis.
The UN and Global Political Economy
Against the backdrop of a 20-year revolt against free trade orthodoxy by economists inside the UN and their impact on policy discussions since the 1960s, the authors show how the UN both nurtured and inhibited creative and novel intellectual contributions to the trade and development debate. Presenting a stirring account of the main UN actors in this debate, The UN and Global Political Economy focuses on the accomplishments and struggles of UN economists and the role played by such UN agencies as the Department of Economic (and Social) Affairs, the United Nations Commission on Trade and Development, and the Economic Commission for Latin America (and the Caribbean). It also looks closely at the effects of the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, the growing strength of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in the 1990s, and the lessons to be drawn from these and other recent developments.
