Routledge In Defense of Post-Keynesian Economics Book

Explore the critical debate surrounding modern economic thought with In Defense of Post-Keynesian and Heterodox Economics: Responses to their Critics. This volume from the Routledge Advances in Heterodox Economics series addresses the tension between mainstream theories and alternative perspectives. Mainstream economic theories often dominate university teaching and government policy, yet these very frameworks have been linked to the great depression experienced in the United States and globally. This book examines why these dominant theories remain unchallenged and how efforts are made to discredit or suppress Post-Keynesian and heterodox viewpoints. By looking at the motivations behind economic orthodoxy, this text provides a necessary look at how economic power is maintained. It is an essential resource for those interested in understanding the systemic reasons why alternative economic models face resistance from the top 1% and established institutions. Gain a deeper understanding of the struggle to introduce new ideas into the field of economic science.
