On the Theoretical and Institutional Roots of Post-Keynesian Economics
Abstract
This article explores both the institutional and theoretical roots of post-Keynesian economics, treated separately. I argue that while there seems to be two accounts of the institutional roots, each emphasize a different narrative and can be reconciled. As for the theoretical roots, I argue that ‘everything started with the Accumulation of Capital ’ — Joan Robinson’s so-called Magnum Opus . The book contains all the elements of what characterizes post-Keynesian economics today.
