Post-Keynesian economics : new foundations
The book is a considerably extended and fully revamped edition of the highly successful and frequently cited Foundations of Post-Keynesian Economic Analysis, published in 1992. It provides an exhaustive account of post-Keynesian economics and of the developments that have occurred in post-Keynesian theory and in the world economy over the last twenty years. Topics covered include open-economy issues, the methodological foundations of heterodox economics, consumer theory, firms and pricing, money and credit, effective demand and employment, inflation theory, and growth theories.

What Economists Should Do
There is controversy among economists over just what it is that economists should do. The controversy is centered on the question whether what is called \"neoclassical\" or \"mainstream\" economics provides the appropriate template for performing economic analysis. Neoclassical economics is based on the principle that economic behavior is guided by \"rational choice, \" i.e., choice based on reason rather than sentiment. Challenges to this principle come from several fields of study: behavioral economics, neuroeconomics, Austrian economics, Keynesian economics, and others. A common thread running through these fields is that the rational choice assumption is unrealistic and therefore not useful for analyzing economic policy choices. It is important, however, to distinguish between economic policy choices, which are frequently irrational, and how individuals are observed to react to these choices. Examples of irrational policy choices are minimum wage laws, buy-American rules, and corporate tax increases. The job of the economist is to play a role akin to that of preachers, in exposing such choices for their irrationality. Mainstream economics shows that people react to these choices in a manner that impairs the performance of the economy.

Post-Keynesian Theory Revisited
With its emphasis on real-world assumptions above theoretical neatness, and the centrality of money within its theoretical framework, post-Keynesian economics offers important insights into understanding how modern day economies work, where financial services and flows dominate the performance of economies. In this advanced introduction, Matteo Iannizzutto showcases post-Keynesianism's contributions to such central issues as the fundamental uncertainty in economic decisions, the theory of liquidity preference, effective demand and nominal contracts. In each case the author presents the strength of post-Keynesian ideas alongside those of mainstream economics and shows their explanatory power in the light of the financial crisis. The author also explores the implications for policy prescriptions arising out of his post-Keynesian analysis, such as supporting the level of employment and regulation and segmentation of financial markets.

The general theory of employment, interest, and money
'The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money' transformed economics and changed the face of modern macroeconomics. Keynes' argument is based on the idea that the level of employment is not determined by the price of labour, but by the spending of money. It gave way to an entirely new approach where employment, inflation and the market economy are concerned. Highly provocative at its time of publication, this book and Keynes' theories continue to remain the subject of much support and praise, criticism and debate. Economists at any stage in their career will enjoy revisiting this treatise and observing the relevance of Keynes' work in today's contemporary climate.

The State of New Keynesian Economics
In August 2007, when the first signs emerged of what would come to be the most damaging global financial crisis since the Great Depression, the New Keynesian paradigm was dominant in macroeconomics. Ten years later, tons of ammunition has been fired against modern macroeconomics in general, and against dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models that build on the New Keynesian framework in particular. Those criticisms notwithstanding, the New Keynesian model arguably remains the dominant framework in the classroom, in academic research, and in policy modeling. In fact, one can argue that over the past ten years the scope of New Keynesian economics has kept widening, by encompassing a growing number of phenomena that are analyzed using its basic framework, as well as by addressing some of the criticisms raised against it. The present paper takes stock of the state of New Keynesian economics by reviewing some of its main insights and by providing an overview of some recent developments. In particular, I discuss some recent work on two very active research programs: the implications of the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates and the interaction of monetary policy and household heterogeneity. Finally, I discuss what I view as some of the main shortcomings of the New Keynesian model and possible areas for future research.

Post-Keynesianism meets feminist economics
This article explores the relationships between post-Keynesian economics and feminist economics. It distinguishes three key concepts in each tradition that recommend serious attention in the other tradition: gender, the household and unpaid work and caring as key concepts in feminist economics; uncertainty, market power and endogenous dynamics as core concepts in post-Keynesian economics. This article will show, with reference to the literature in which such cross-fertilisation has been explored already, how both traditions can be enriched from a stronger mutual engagement.
