Editorial Reviews

Deprez (Whittier College) and Harvey (Texas Christian U.) present original research by leading Post Keynesian scholars on international economic theory and analysis. Beyond the specifics of each of the 11 contributions, the collection as a whole suggests the usefulness of the Post Keynesian paradigm in addressing complex issues of global interdependence. Topics include payment schemes, exchange rate determination, open economy macroeconomics, developing country issues, capital flows, balance of payments constraints, liquidity preference, and Fordism and the role of technology in trade.
