Financial Keynesianism and Market Instability

The Economic Legacy of Hyman Minsky, Volume I

编辑Riccardo Bellofiore Politi教授cal Economy, University of Bergamo, Italy and Piero Ferri, Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Bergamo, Italy

During his lifetime Hyman Minsky made a seminal contribution to the development of financial Keynesianism. In this book, leading academics celebrate his work and explore his economic legacy.

Special attention is paid to his work on contemporary economic method, the Great Depression, the European single currency and the global financial system and recent banking and financial crises – in particular the crisis in Asia. An attempt is made to categorise Minsky’s brand of post Keynesianism and to compare his work with the Keynesian and Marxian traditions.

‘This collection of essays is a must-have for anyone writing or thinking about economic and financial stability. . . These essays not only vindicate Minsky’s theoretical approach to macroeconomics, but they also demonstrate why his framework is uniquely appropriate for the study of modern capitalist economies.’
– Stephanie A. Bell, Eastern Economic Journal
