Crisis of Keynesian Economics (Routledge Revivals)

Geoffrey Pilling's treatment of this complex issue in political economy, first published in 1986, concentrates on a review of Keynes' writings rather than the vast literature that has developed surrounding his work since the Second World War. It does, however, consider the work of the 'Left Keynesians', in particular that of Joan Robinson. The Crisis of Keynesian Economics has the potential to throw fresh light on some of the issues facing political leaders today, particularly so given that much of the Neo-Capitalist economic orthodoxy established during the 1980s has come under fresh criticism in recent years.
