SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Post-Keynesian and heterodox economics challenge the mainstream economics theories that dominate the teaching at universities and government economic policies. And it was these latter theories that helped to cause the great depression the United States and the rest of the world is in. However, most economists and the top 1% do not want mainstream theories challenged-for to do so would mean questioning why and how the 1% got where they are. Therefore, numerous efforts have been and are being made to discredit if not suppress Post-Keynesian and heterodox economics. These efforts have had some success; this books is a response to them. The chapters of the book deal with three interrelated points. The first is the extent to which mainstream and post-Keynesian/heterodox economics are distinctly different; the second is a response to the arguments that heterodox economics should not exist and heterodox economists should become mainstream economists; and the third point concerns developments within the community and the pursuance of productive research strategies within the context of an antagonistic mainstream economics. This book makes it clean that post Keynesian/heterodox economics is, in spite of internal problems, a viable and important approach to economics and that it should resist the attempts of the critics to bury it. The reader will also find arguments that directly engage the critics and suggest that their views/criticisms are vacuous and wrong. As such, this will appeal to all who are interested in economic theory, economic history and who believe in challenging the orthodoxy.
