Schools of Thought and a Crisis of Conscience Part II

[2nd in a series of posts on economic schools of thought]

Following on from my first post in this series, I’m covering today thoughts on this audiobook:

  1. "Struggle Over the Keynesian Heritage: Neoclassical Synthesists vs. the Post Keynesians"

Bear in mind that a 2hr plus audiobook isn’t going to delve very deeply into doctrinaire differences; nor is my understanding of it going to be very complete or meaningful. I’d also point out that the script for this audio was written by Paul Davidson, who is one of the leading figures in Post-Keynesian thought, i.e. you can’t discount bias in the treatment (the Austrian book I listened to was noticeably one-sided). So bear these caveats in mind when reading through the rest of this post.
