International Money and the Real World

This revised edition updates the post-Keynesian ANALYSIS of the earlier edition by providing a greater emphasis on capital movements, the development of regional common markets and the global debt and payments problems spawned in the 1980s. It explains why orthodox economic policies have often failed to achieve their objectives and if they work they do so only by inflicting unnecessarily high costs on society. The civilized policies developed in this volume, on the other hand, can achieve society's goals while enhancing the many benefits of an entrepreneurial economy.
