Description

This authoritative and comprehensive reference work introduces the reader to the major concepts and leading contributors in the field of Keynesian economics.An Encyclopedia of Keynesian Economics includes contributions by leading international authors working in the tradition of Keynes. Featuring accessible, informative and provocative entries on all the significant areas, the encyclopedia breaks new ground by bringing together widely dispersed but theoretically congruent ideas for the first time. The book is divided into three general categories. First, concise biographies of economists who have contributed to the debate surrounding the economics of Keynes and the Keynesian Revolution; secondly, the basic principles, models and tools used by the participants in this discussion about the economic consequences of The General Theory. Finally, there are more lengthy entries on specific topics associated with Keynes and the Keynesian Revolution. In this section the principal factors which contributed to The General Theory, the economics of Keynes and the rise and apparent decline of Keynesian economics are reviewed. The book will rapidly become established as the best single reference source on Keynesian economics and will be welcomed by students and teachers of economics as well as by scholars in related social sciences and by government policymakers.
