Credit, Money and Crises in Post-Keynesian Economics
In this volume, Louis-Philippe Rochon and Hassan Bougrine bring together key post-Keynesian voices in an effort to push the boundaries of our understanding of banks, central banking, monetary policy and endogenous money. Issues such as interest rates, income distribution, stagnation and crises – both theoretical and empirical – are woven together and analysed by the many contributors to shed new light on them. The result is an alternative analysis of contemporary monetary economies, and the policies that are so needed to address the problems of today.

Students and professors of economics, policymakers interested in alternative policies, academics and scholars in all fields will benefit from the explorations therein, and would also appreciate the companion publication, Economic Growth and Macroeconomic Stabilization Policies in Post-Keynesian Economics, also published by Edward Elgar Publishing.

Critical Acclaim
‘This is an outstanding, wide-ranging collection of seventeen state-of-the-art essays on endogenous money, banking and monetary policy. The riveting essays are deeply engaging, well written, with a keen eye on current real-world developments and great clarity in exposition. The analyses are solidly grounded in the history of economic thought and all authors bring a commendable commitment to not just understand the world of money and banking, but also to improve the workings of our monetary economies for the common good. A must read.’
