"This timely book is devoted to the advance of post-Keynesian economics, covering the last ten years of persistent and nuanced disparities in many dimensions of macroeconomic 'reality'. Taking a pluralistic approach to modern Keynesian economics, the book presents innovative contributions to methodology, analyses of financialization and macroeconomic modeling. It explores how to model a complex macro-system at a time when economic uncertainty is dominant. Rich case studies examine increasing macroeconomic imbalances, paving the way for a better understanding of the political challenges of the future. With chapters dedicated to teaching macroeconomics, the book adopts a practical stance, exploring the notion of moving away from mathematical modeling towards problem-based learning. Provocative and comprehensive, this book is crucial reading for all macroeconomists, from academic researchers to ministerial officials, seeking guidance on dealing with macroeconomic 'reality'. Postgraduate students of heterodox economics and political economy will also benefit from the innovative contributions of top post-Keynesian scholars, offering an alternative understanding of contemporary macroeconomic theory"--

Mainstream economic theory has been increasingly questioned following the recent global financial crisis. Marc Lavoie shows how post-Keynesian theory can function as a coherent substitute by focusing on realistic assumptions and integrating the financial and real sides of the economy. This book outlines alternative microeconomic foundations based on a world of fundamental uncertainty, with an emphasis on various paradoxes that arise in a truly macroeconomic analysis. The book is a considerably extended and fully revamped edition of the highly successful and frequently cited Foundations of Post-Keynesian Economic Analysis, published in 1992. It provides an exhaustive account of post-Keynesian economics and of the developments that have occurred in post-Keynesian theory and in the world economy over the last twenty years. Topics covered include open-economy issues, the methodological foundations of heterodox economics, consumer theory, firms and pricing, money and credit, effective demand and employment, inflation theory, and growth theories.Students and scholars of economics, particularly post-Keynesian and heterodox economics, will find this comprehensive look at the field a necessary addition to their libraries.
