The paper investigates Champernowne's 1936 attempt to sort out the debate between Pigou (1933) and Keynes (1936) about employment determination. Champernowne agreed with Keynes that workers can only bargain for a money-wage, but argued that, to the extent that workers' (adaptive) price...

While sustainable development is a unanimously accepted watchword today, we wish to show that the post Keynesian school, even if it did not emphasize on environmental issues and, generally speaking, on sustainable development as such, has tools that make it relevant on this topic. Indeed, post...

The paper analyses Adam Smith's labour commanded value theory and proceeds with a comparison between this theory and Keynes' wage units approach, demonstrating that both authors were mainly concerned with a nominal anchor to the measure of value. This similarity in both theories is observed in...

The monetary theory of Kalecki and Minsky is usually placed within the Post-Keynesian tradition, deriving from the monetary analysis of John Maynard Keynes. The paper argues that Kalecki and Minsky shared a common inheritance in Swedish and German monetary theory, rather than the Marshallian...

This paper examines Robert E. Lucas's views on the relationship of macroeconomics to real world economic phenomena, and on Keynes's place in its history, suggesting that these stem from a particular and debatable understanding of how the subdiscipline has evolved. It considers some implications...

One of Keynes’ core issues in his liquidity preference theory is how fundamental uncertainty affects the propensity to hold money as a liquid asset. The paper critically assesses various formal representations of fundamental uncertainty and provides an argument for a more bounded rational...

Keynes introduces the term 'effective demand' in chapter 3 of the General Theory as designating the point of intersection of two functions: the 'aggregate demand function' (D) and the 'aggregate supply function' (Z). For the first time in the literature, I here specify exact functional forms for...
