Description
'The real strength of Arestis's book is in providing a survey of a very large number of contributions which have gone into building-up this central position. Thoughtful students who have had a thorough grounding in neoclassical macroeconomics and want to see something of the alternatives, would learn much from Arestis (as would their teachers).' - Adrian Winnett, Cyprus Journal of Economics '. . . [provides] excellent expositions for students [and] should allow discussion to concentrate on the theoretical consistency of the various components of the post-Keynesian alternative.' - J.A. Kregel, the Economic Journal This major new book provides a coherent critique of the neo-classical synthesis together with a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the post-Keynesian alternatives. Professor Arestis demonstrates that post-Keynesian economics offers a challenge to conventional neo-classical economics. He argues that although post-Keynesianism is not problem-free, it nevertheless offers a more satisfactory explanation of 'real' phenomena.
