This erudite book offers an extensive overview of the most important debates taking place amongst Post Keynesian economists, acknowledging the vital contribution Post Keynesians have made to theoretical and policy discourse in the 21st century. Bringing together distinguished experts from across the globe, Post Keynesian Economics: Key Debates and Contending Perspectives discusses the profound questions of heterodox economic theory and their far-reaching implications for economic policy.

‘The editors and authors of this excellent volume are to be applauded for putting together highly timely contributions that apply a traditional Keynes-Kalecki perspective to the most pressing socio-economic problems of the 21st century. In doing so, the authors shed light on potential pathways out of the permanent and manifold capitalist crises that coin current economic developments.’

‘Post Keynesian Economics: Key Debates and Contending Perspectives, edited by Therese Jefferson and John E. King, contains some stimulating contributions to current economic and economic policy debates. It provides important alternative views to the orthodoxy on pressing issues, such as inequality, racial and gender stratification, the COVID crisis, the ecological crisis, and macroeconomic and other policies to address them.’
