Indtroduction – The History of Post-Keynesian Economics: Celebrating 50 Years
Abstract
The year 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the publication, in the Journal of Economic Literature , of the article by Alfred Eicher and Jan Kregel, on post-Keynesian economics, where the authors ‘boldly announced’ (Kregel 1990 , 526) a ‘new paradigm in economics’, as the subtitle of the article suggests. It was the first journal publication carrying the post-Keynesian label, although admittedly a few years earlier, Kregel ( 1973 ) published his famous book on political economy and post-Keynesian economics.
