Omschrijving
‘This is an outstanding collection relevant to a large audience. A talent Whalen has demonstrated throughout his career is the ability to undertake complex economic analysis in approachable prose, making this text relevant and accessible. Its pluralist approach broadens the potential audience, overcoming disciplinary silos. Its accessibility makes this an excellent option for those teaching undergraduate courses, wanting their students to get a deep understanding of the works of Commons, Minsky, and ultimately a Post-Keynesian Institutionalist approach without having to wade through many primary texts. This text offers a starting point for graduate students, early career academics, and anyone interested in gaining a deep understanding of Post-Keynesian Institutional analysis.’

‘Long before the problems of increasing inequality and worker insecurity captured the attention of the mainstream, Charles Whalen’s work offered unique insights into these problems. Deploying a synthesis of institutional and post-Keynesian economics, which he helped develop, Whalen identifies the culprits: financialization and the rise of money manager capitalism. This volume will delight the reader with a rich historical and evolutionary analysis of the most pressing issues of our time.’
‘The essays in Charles Whalen's book are a thoughtful and original exploration of institutional and post-Keynesian economics. Whalen draws fresh insights from the writings of John R. Commons, Hyman Minsky, and others, offering them as correctives to the anomic libertarianism of mainstream economics. Throughout his career, Whalen has honed his analytical approach to devise economic policies for a more stable and equitable economy.’
‘Shortcomings of contemporary capitalism in the US and beyond confront us crisis after crisis. Extending Veblen, Commons, Keynes, Minsky and other institutionalists, Whalen offers a pathway towards a reformed capitalism, consistent with democracy, the common good and advancing worker well-being. This collection is essential reading on heterodox economics explanations of economic insecurity, inequality and how to address the consequences of neoliberalism and financialization through stakeholder engagement in public policy formulation.’
‘The articles and essays collected in this volume offer an original and insightful perspective on contemporary economic debates. They develop a way of thinking about the economy almost totally eclipsed in the last several decades by neoliberal market fundamentalism. The book is written in a language which is easily accessible to the layman, but is also a serious scholarly endeavor, which seeks to bridge the gap between microeconomics and the macroeconomic theory that grew out of Keynes's General Theory, a gap the bulk of the profession has tried to overcome with an increasingly arcane market theory.’
‘This volume brings together 30 years of perceptive essays by Charles Whalen that, taken together, exhibit the breadth and depth of his thinking. Whalen keeps a steady focus on real world challenges facing American workers—challenges that rhyme over the decades if they don’t exactly repeat—and on policy reforms that would improve their well-being.’
‘Whalen draws on a wealth of experience as researcher, journalist and policy analyst to offer a reconstructed blend of post-Keynesian institutional economics. That’s the right mix and definitely worth exploring.’
‘Charles Whalen, one of the very rare co-authors of Hyman Minsky, is among the main representatives of the institutionalist strand of post-Keynesian economics. Here, inspired by John R. Commons and Minsky, he offers 30 years of reflections and engagement about the evolution of capitalist economies and their economic policies.’
