Credit, Money and Crises in Post-Keynesian Economics

New Directions in Post-Keynesian Economics series

Edited by Louis-Philippe Rochon, Full Professor, Laurentian University, Canada, Editor-in-Chief of Review of Political Economy and Founding Editor Emeritus, Review of Keynesian Economics and Hassan Bougrine, Full Professor, Laurentian University, Canada

In this volume, Louis-Philippe Rochon and Hassan Bougrine bring together key post-Keynesian voices in an effort to push the boundaries of our understanding of banks, central banking, monetary policy and endogenous money. Issues such as interest rates, income distribution, stagnation and crises – both theoretical and empirical – are woven together and analysed by the many contributors to shed new light on them. The result is an alternative analysis of contemporary monetary economies, and the policies that are so needed to address the problems of today.

‘This is an outstanding, wide-ranging collection of seventeen state-of-the-art essays on endogenous money, banking and monetary policy. The riveting essays are deeply engaging, well written, with a keen eye on current real-world developments and great clarity in exposition. The analyses are solidly grounded in the history of economic thought and all authors bring a commendable commitment to not just understand the world of money and banking, but also to improve the workings of our monetary economies for the common good. A must read.’
