Introduction 1. See Peter A. Hall, the Political Power of Economic Ideas
Notes Introduction 1. See Peter A. Hall, The Political Power of Economic Ideas: Keynesianism Across Nations (Princeton University Press, 1989). 2. Christopher Hood, Explaining Economic Policy Reversals (Buckingham: Open University Press, 1994). 3. Kalecki came to hold views, later termed 'Keynesian', at least as early as 1933. 4. M. Kalecki, 'The Political Aspects of Full Employment' Political Quar terly, vol. 14, no. 4, 1943, pp. 322-31. 5. For an example, see S. Steinmo, K. Thelen, F. Longstreth (eds), Struc turing Politics: Historical Institutionalism in Comparative Analysis (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1992). 6. See his contribution to the aforementioned, Peter A. Hall, 'The Move ment from Keynesianism to Monetarism: Institutional Analysis and British Economic Policy in the 1970s', in S. Steinmo, K. Thelen, F. Longstreth (eds), Structuring Politics: Historical Institutionalism in Comparative Analysis (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1992), pp. 90-113. See also The Political Power of Economic Ideas: Keynesianism Across Nations. 7. I do not wish to suggest that all Marxists or all neo-liberals draw on monetarist thought. Those who do are in the distinct minority in each case, especially the former. 8. Such a position is not to claim that there are not important changes that have to be accounted for, such as the growth of female part-time em ployment, together with social changes such as increased male involve ment in the domestic sphere. It is merely to acknowledge that a justification of this stance cannot be made here. One excellent attempt at such a justification, however, has been made by Jocelyn Pixley, Citizenship and Employment: Investigating Post-Industrial Options (Cambridge Univer sity Press, 1993). -
