The Relevance of Jim Crotty’s Keynes Against Capitalism to Solving Macro economic Problems under Conditions of Class Conflict
Was Keynes trying to save capitalism or create “Liberal Socialism”? Jim Crotty’s unique approach to this long-standing question makes his work an outstanding contribution to heterodox macro policy. Tracing Keynes’s policy positions from World War I to Keynes’s death in 1946, Jim combines rich historical detail with Keynes’s insistence that the realism of assumptions affects the truth content of hypotheses. Jim’s book can serve as a guide to polic…
A Specious Solution to the "Problem" of Procyclical Productivity
Wage-Push and Working-Class Power: A Reply to Howard Sherman

We have explanations of the secular functions of Keynesianism and some understanding of its contradictions," but, …
The Substitution of Capital for Capital
A LTHOUGH homogeneous capital stocks remain a frequent construct in growth theory and the literature on production relations, economists have not missed the fact that trucks are not lathes. Thus considerable effort has gone into specifying the conditions under which aggregation is conceptually permissible.1 Recently, the aggregation of capital services from diverse capital stocks has become an important consideration in the explanation of product…
