INCOME DISTRIBUTION IN A CORPORATE ECONOMY

New Directions in Modern Economics series

Russell Rimmer, Reader, Department of Information and Numerical Sciences, Deakin University, Australia

Income Distribution in a Corporate Economy offers a skilful examination of the influences of financial markets and imperfect competition on the distributive process. Unlike much of the earlier literature, it concentrates upon the short-run, making it suitable for empirical appraisal.

‘Income Distribution in a Corporate Economy not only shows a very thorough knowledge of the relevant literature and considerable technical virtuosity and synthesising capabilities, it is also a substantial and original contribution to the literature.’
– G.C. Harcourt, University of New South Wales, Australia

‘Rimmer’s book provides both a useful clarification of the debate over the Cambridge-style, post Keynesian approach to distribution and a useful demonstration of the possible avenues available in bringing that approach into contact with the short run and with analysis at the industry level.
– Graham White, The Economic Record

‘Rimmer’s work is undoubtedly stimulating. . .’
– Terence Hutchinson, Review of Political Economy

‘This is one of the best modern books written on the functional distribution of income.’
– A.P. Thirlwall, The Economic Journal
