Keynes and His Battles
This fascinating book is the first to bring together and examine all aspects of the life and work of one of the most influential thinkers of the last century, John Maynard Keynes, whose theses are still hotly debated. It combines, in an accessible, unique and cohesive manner, analytical, biographical and contextual elements from a variety of perspectives. Gilles Dostaler studies in detail the battles that Keynes led on various fronts - politics, philosophy, art, and of course economics - in the pursuit of a single and lifelong goal: to radically transform society to create a better world, a world pacified and freed from the neurotic pursuit of financial wealth and economic rentability, with ...
Economic Thought Since Keynes
Economic Thought Since Keynes provides a concise overview of changing economic thought in the latter part of the twentieth century. Offering a concise biography of 150 influential economists since Keynes, it is an invaluable reference tool.
Capitalisme et pulsion de mort
Krach financier, panique, fuite vers la liquidité : la crise qui entraîne aujourd'hui le monde vers son effondrement est comparable à celle des années trente, mue, à nouveau, par ce que Keynes appelait « le désir morbide de liquidité » et Freud, plus abruptement « la pulsion de mort ». Nichée au coesur du capitalisme, cette pulsion le pousse à détruire et à s'autodétruire. C'est entre le « mardi noir » et l'arrivée des nazis au Reichstag, que Freud, désabusé, découvre le rôle de la pulsion de mort dans la civilisation. Au même moment, Keynes, dont l'oeuvre ne peut être comprise sans sa lecture permanente de Freud, traduit cette pulsion dans le désir insatiable d'argent. Cet ouvrage propose une lecture du capitalisme à travers le double prisme de Freud et de Keynes. Il dévoile comment ce tout jeune système au regard de l'histoire de l'humanité est porteur de menaces pour elle, par son simple désir de détruire et de mourir, et laisse entrevoir « l'au-delà du capitalisme ». Fruit de plus de dix ans de recherches de Gilles Dostaler et de Bernard Maris, il se trouve être, brutalement, d'une extraordinaire actualité.
Keynes' General Theory
This volume, a collection of essays by internationally known experts in the area of the history of economic thought and of the economics of Keynes and macroeconomics in particular, is designed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the publication of The General Theory. The essays contained in this volume are divided into four sections. The first section contains three essays that explore the concept of fundamental uncertainty and its unique role in The General Theory. The second section contains five essays that examine the place of The General Theory in the history of macroeconomics since 1936. The third section contains three essays that explore the interrelationships among Keynes, Friedman, Kaldor, Marx and Sraffa and their approaches to macroeconomic theory and policy. The final section contains four essays that provide several new interpretations of The General Theory and its position within macroeconomics. Keynes's General Theory is intended for those students and scholars who are interested in the economics of Keynes and the rich variety of approaches to macroeconomic theory and policy.
Valeur et prix
Cet ouvrage scrute les débats méconnus qui ont marqué l’époque de l’émergence du marxisme et du marginalisme, du déclin de l’influence de Ricardo, mais aussi, dans l’ombre, de la naissance du courant néo-ricardien. Débats rythmés par la parution des livres du Capital et centrés sur la question de la valeur et des rapports d’échange. Un éclairage différent est ainsi jeté sur les problèmes que posent les rapports entre l’analyse marxiste et l’économie politique.
Economics as Rhetoric
Bernard Maris was killed in Paris on January 7, 2015, during the terrorist attack against the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. He remains one of the most original intellectuals of contemporary France, but despite being a uniquely original heterodox thinker, his international reputation has been compromised by the fact that his writings are inaccessible to non-French speakers. This book remedies that. By providing an overview of Bernard Maris’ life and intellectual trajectory as well as an English translation of an anthology of his most relevant writings, this volume provides the international audience – for the first time ever – the chance to know and understand the contribution of th...
The Dynamics of Poverty
This book examines Gunnar Myrdal’s analysis of poverty in relation to Sweden, the United States, South Asia, and the international economy. The chapters investigate Mrydal’s methodological development and his focus on the principle of circular and cummulative causation, dynamic economic analysis, institutional frameworks, value premises, and social engineering. The challenge of world poverty, the international dimension of poverty, and the legacy of The American Dilemma and Asian Drama are also discussed. This book aims to explore the development of Myrdal’s analysis of poverty during his life. It will be relevant to students and academics interested in the history of economic thought, development economics, the political economy, and labor economics.
Twelve Figures in Swedish Economics
This book explores the development of economic thought in Sweden through some of the people who shaped it. The book highlights both some of the well-known contributions and some overlooked areas of research. It begins with the origins of the pioneer neoclassical Heckscher-Ohlin theorem and Gunnar Myrdal ’s circular, cumulative approach to economic development. Secondly, it focuses on a number of economists related to the Industrial Institute of Economic and Social Research: Ingvar Svennilson, Axel Iveroth, Jan Wallander, Erik Höök, Villy Bergström and Rolf Henriksson. Finally, it offers portraits of three economists from Lund University: Bo Södersten, Ingemar Ståhl and Göte Hansson. The work of all of them is placed within the context of the contemporary academic and public economic debate. This book aims at providing a perspective on the legacy of the Swedish tradition in economics and will be relevant to students and academics interested in the history of economic thought.
