Economics: An Awkward Corner

Joan Robinson

In fact, this is especially frustrating because there's a very strong argument to be made that Post-Keynesian economics was **founded** on clarifying the logical flaws with such reasoning in Alfred Eichner's correspondence with Joan Robinson.

@AndrewJonelis @TheStalwart Yair Listokin's book Law and Macroeconomics provides a New Keynesian informed discussion which, among other things, searches for possible places to use executive fiscal policy discretion **as a recommendation**. https://t.co/YmtAXCg17V

@SethAckerman re: Andrews you can read about the Kalecki/cambridge reaction to him in Oxford Economics and Oxford economists and in Lee's PK price theory. For Robinson herself basically any time she discusses full cost/normal cost pricing she is responding.

I also think its worth thinking about how the most directly successful "policy-related" organizing effort of this era was born during Occupy by a group David Graeber helped nurture and support from its very beginning- Student Debt Cancellation and the Debt Collective.

I finished reading @Goulven_Rubin's 2005 paper on Patinkin this morning. I found it really fascinating and it changed my impression of Patinkin from Minsky's Stabilizing an Unstable Economy, a figure I otherwise hadn't read much about or focused on. https://t.co/4jyWJlrk5M
