New Directions in Modern Economics series

Edited by Jesper Jespersen, Professor of Economics, Roskilde University and Adjunct Professor, Aalborg University, Finn Olesen, Professor of Economics and Mikael Randrup Byrialsen, Associate Professor, Aalborg University, Denmark

This timely book provides 15 chapters of cutting edge academic work related to Post-Keynesian economics for the future: This includes stock-flow consistent modelling and analyses of the key challenges associated with the economic policies of sustainability.

‘This book is unique in the sense that it reflects the nascent broadening and transformation of Post Keynesian economics into questions about the contemporary consequences of economic activity and economic policy for the economy as a whole. More now than ever do the insights offered by Keynes as he portended the end of laissez-faire and the possibilities for our grandchildren come to the forefront in this collection of chapters by Jespersen, et al. The traditional divide between micro- and macroeconomics becomes blurred in favor of the distributional and environmental consequences of economic activity in the 21st century; as it should.’

‘Society urgently needs effective macroeconomic theory and policy addressed to environmental sustainability and social justice, given the limitations of the mainstream macroeconomic approach. This welcome book edited by Jespersen, Olesen and Byrialsen addresses this need. It brings together an innovative and important collection of realist Post-Keynesian research which sets out an alternative approach at the levels of methodology, theory and policy.’
