Note(s) : The entire world has been facing the so-called subprime crisis ₆ a crisis that first
hit banks and other financial institutions through changes in the real estate market,
and later spread to the stock market and the real economy. The chapters in this revised
volume help to understand the recent events that attributed to the financial crisis.
The book also includes a new postface, which provides a thorough examination on how
post-Keynesian theory relates to the subprime financial crisis. This book offers an
accessible introduction to post-Keynesian economics, showing that there is an alternative
to neoclassical economics and its free-market economic policies. Post-Keynesian economics
is founded on realistic assumptions and stylized facts, such as interest targeting
by central banks or constant average variable costs in manufacturing and services.
The author shows how these more realistic foundations give rise to macroeconomic implications
that are entirely different from those of received wisdom with regards to employment,
output growth, inflation and monetary theory. For instance, the author demonstrates
that higher minimum wages or real wages can increase both labour employment and the
corporate profit rates, and that faster output growth need not lead to higher inflation.
