The Contradictions of Capital in the Twenty-First Century
Capitalism
Anwar Shaikh's magnum opus, ‘Capitalism’, has been 15 years in the making. Its bases though may be traced back to the 1970s when he was a doctoral student at Columbia, having been trained initially as an engineer. His dissertation developed themes arising from the two Cambridges’ controversies in capital theory, in which he correctly identified as a major reason for the clashes, the respective Schumpeterian ‘visions’ underlying their arguments: t…
Joan Robinson and MIT
Roger Backhouse remarks in "MIT and the Other Cambridge" (History of Political Economy 46, supplement) that the capital theory controversy came to be seen by most of the economics profession as a waste of time. Joan Robinson's 1953 paper "The Production Function and the Theory of Capital" started the controversy. An abbreviated version, published in the second volume of her Collected Economic Papers, made clear that her critique came in two parts…

The Oxford Handbook of Post-Keynesian Economics, Volume 2

It explains the key features of Michał Kalecki’s analysis of a capitalist economy and examines his macroeconomics in the short-run. It also provides a brief overview of post-Keynesian contributions to the study of the economic problems of least developed countries, also known as development economics. In addition, the …

Reddaway [William] Brian, 1913–2002 (2004)
Brian Reddaway was born on 8 January 1913 in Cambridge into a Cambridge ‘gown’ family. His father, William Fiddian Reddaway, was an historian (of Eastern Europe), a fellow of King’s College and the first Censor of Fitzwilliam House. His mother was Kate Waterland Sills. Except for two years in Australia at the University of Melbourne (1936–38), Cambridge was always to be his base. He died in Cambridge on 23 July 2002 after a short illness. Reddawa…

The Enduring Importance of The General Theory
This paper examines some features of The General Theory that remain relevant 75 years after its publication. Keynes showed that even in a competitive economy with perfectly flexible prices, wages and interest rates, market prices could not guarantee full employment and that the achievement of full employment would only be a fluke. In other words, he showed that there was no natural mechanism to drive the economy to full employment, and that the l…

Retrospectives Whatever Happened to the Cambridge Capital Theory Controversies
We argue that the Cambridge capital theory controversies of the 1950s to 1970s were the latest in a series of still-unresolved controversies over three deep issues: explaining and justifying the return to capital; Joan Robinson's complaint that, due to path dependence, equilibrium is not an outcome of an economic process and therefore an inadequate tool for analyzing accumulation and growth; and the role of ideology and vision in fuelling controv…
Keynes On Population
John Toye has expanded his justly acclaimed article, ‘Keynes on population and economic growth' (1997), into a well‐researched, fair‐minded and eminently readable account of a neglected aspect of Keynes's writings and views. My own view of Keynes is that he was (like us all, only more so) a Jekyll and Hyde character but that, overall, the events of his life provided a resounding ‘Yes' to G. E. Moore's conundrum: Is it possible both to be good and…

It has always been controversial, partly because the subject matter is difficult and partly because rival ideologies and value systems impinge directly on the subject matter. In the p…
