Download or read book Capitalism, Socialism, and Post-Keynesianism written by Geoffrey Colin Harcourt and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work begins with three essays on policy issues: the case for a middle way between command economies and free market economies; the broad principles of fiscal policy for Australia in the 1990s; and an integrated set of modest proposals to get the world economy on the path to prosperity. All approaches used in these essays are associated with the broad church of post-Keynesianism and the belief that economics should produce a more just and equitable society. Later essays analyze theoretical topics in an historical context. The remaining papers are a selection of intellectual biographies, and general esays which range from the author's views on the relationship between mathematics and economics to what Adam Smith really said.
