    Italian Economics

    The Structure of Post-Keynesian Economics: The Core Contributions of the Pioneers G. C. Harcourt* Abstract: This paper summarises the key elements of Geoffrey Harcourt’s (2006) book of the same title. Special emphasis is given to the contribution of the Cambridge pioneers, such as John Maynard Keynes, Richard Kahn, Joan Robinson, Nicholas Kaldor, Michal Kalecki, Richard Goodwin, Piero Sraffa, Luigi Pasinetti, and Dennis Robertson. The objective of their approaches is to comprehend the dynamics of an advanced capitalist economy, particularly in the context of a monetary system of production. Here, investment leads and saving follows, while the marginal propensity to save of capitalists is greater than that of workers. The economic surplus is produced in the consumption goods sector, and utilised in the capital goods sector. Mark-up pricing is important for the determination of the surplus, as is the trade off between profit-margins and sales. Kalecki’s principle of increasing risk plays a role in the cyclical dynamics, as does the two-sided relationship between profitability and accumulation. The prevailing business climate is important in determining future expectations, while endogenous money and credit help to finance investment. Growth is thus endogenous in these models of finance, accumulation and profit, while potential conflict plays a role in the pricing and investment decisions and in the process of inflation. A general policy vision emanates from these foundations. 1 Introduction I start, first, by thanking the original inhabitants of the land on which we are now meeting for their courtesy in having us as their guests. Secondly, I must apologise to Peter Groenewegen and John King as they have already heard me talking on the present topic at the ESHET Conference in Porto in April 2006.

    CR Traverse Analysis Progenitors & Pioneers

    Traverse Analysis: Progenitors and Pioneers 14th History of Economic Thought Society of Australia Conference The University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia. 11th July 2001 Colin Richardson* School of Economics University of Tasmania ABSTRACT Traverse analysis has two progenitors (David Ricardo, Karl Marx) and five pioneers: Michal Kalecki, Adolph Lowe, Joan Robinson, J.R. Hicks, and John Hicks. Defined as the dynamic disequilibrium adjustment-path that connects an initial with a different terminal state of economic growth, the traverse comes in four “flavours”. There are neoclassical (J.R. Hicks), neo-Austrian (John Hicks), observed (Ricardo, Marx, Kalecki, Robinson), and instrumental (Lowe) traverses. These terms are explained and the seven seminal contributions are summarised and commented upon in this paper. * I am indebted to Dr Jerry Courvisanos for his supervision and comments in writing this paper. Scholarship support from The University of Tasmania is also gratefully acknowledged. 2 Introduction Nobel laureate economist Robert Solow once quipped: “The traverse is the easiest part of skiing but the most difficult part of economics”. Later, Joseph Halevi and Peter Kriesler (1992, p 225) complained that “The traverse is at the same time one of the most important concepts in economic theory, and also one of the most neglected.” This paper outlines briefly the history of economic thought between 1821 and 1973 concerning this difficult, important and neglected theoretical construct. Traverse analysis has two progenitors (David Ricardo, Karl Marx) and five pioneers: Michal Kalecki, Adolph Lowe, Joan Robinson, J.R. Hicks, and John Hicks. Defined as the dynamic disequilibrium adjustment-path that connects an initial with a different terminal state of economic growth, the traverse comes in four “flavours”.

    History of Political Economy MIT and the Other Cambridge Roger E. Backhouse 1. Preliminaries In 1953 Joan Robinson, at the University of Cambridge, in England, pub- lished a challenge to what she chose to call the neoclassical theory of production. She claimed that it did not make sense to use a production function of the form Q = f(L, K),1 in which the rate of interest or profit (the two terms are used interchangeably) was assumed to equal the marginal product of capital, ∂Q/∂K, for it confused two distinct concepts of capital. The variable K could not represent simultaneously the physical stock of capital goods and the value of capital from which the rate of profit was calculated. A related critique was then offered by Piero Sraffa (1960). In place of the marginal productivity theory of income distribution, Robin- son and her Cambridge colleagues, Nicholas Kaldor and Luigi Pasinetti, argued for what they called a “Keynesian” theory of distribution in which Correspondence may be addressed to Roger E.

    Resenha de livro BARANZINI, Mauro; MIRANTE, Amalia. A Compendium of Italian Economists at Oxbridge: Contributions to the Evolution of Economic Thinking. Library of Congress Control, number 2016950016, ISBN 978-3-319-32218-6. Palgrave/Macmillan, 2016. 288 páginas. 1 Joanílio Rodolpho Teixeira This book may well be described as an attempt to appraise the success of Italian economists and researchers who proceeded to MSc/PhD at the University of Cambridge and Oxford (thus Oxbridge) in the second half of the last century (1950 to about 1990-95). Their works and degrees has been noted for being associated with outstanding scholars such as Richard Kahn, Piero Sraffa, John Hicks, Richard Stone, Nicholas Kaldor, Joan Robinson, Richard Goodwin, James Meade, David Champernowne, Maurice Dobb, James Mirrlees, Geoffrey Harcourt and other fine scholars. The book could also be considered an important and extensive bibliography and painstaking cross-indexing of Italian economists and contemporary surveys of subjects. Perhaps, Mauro Baranzini and Amalia Mirante accomplished more than such objectives, since they guide the reader to what are indeed important theoretical, empirical and institutional issues. The book provides a detailed list of almost five decades of efforts made by three generations of Italian economists who came to Oxbridge and whose scientific works has been significant contributions to the advancement of research programmes and lines of economic thinking. It traces the influence of Oxbridge in terms of: i) the evolution of economic thought; ii) the promotion of key controversies on technical progress (on capital theory, on income and wealth distribution, and on the inter-generational transmission of income) and iii) the flow and counter-flow of scholars to Italy and Oxbridge, invigorating research and lecturing till nowadays.
