Abstract:
This book brings together important essays by Richard F. Kahn, Keynes’s pupil and literary executor and one of the most influential economists in the Cambridge tradition. The essays address issues – ranging from imperfect competition and pricing mechanisms to inflation, unemployment, and the regulation of international trade and finance – that remain highly relevant and topical. They are addressed from a Keynesian perspective, with exploration of the interface between economic theory and policy. The introduction, by the editors, places the essays in their own context while at the same time offering guidance in understanding their relevance to the present scenario. Richard F. Kahn: Collected Economic Essays is a fitting companion to the 1972 collection of essays, edited by Kahn himself. It will be of interest to scholars and students as a guide to the work of an outstanding economist and a great figure in the Keynesian tradition.
