Description

This book and its author fully embrace Keynes’ insights – an author who figures quite prominently throughout this book. Indeed, Professor Ferrari Filho is one of the foremost interpreters of Keynes and his economics. Indeed, from one chapter to the other, readers will be taken to a place that feels just right. In Essays in Economics: Theoretical and Applied Analysis, the author weaves a readable and relatable story about the complexity of the real world, the importance of uncertainty, inflation and exchange rates and the central role of the State in regulating economic activity in order to generate a true full employment equilibrium. This book goes a long way in teaching us real world economics, and real-world solutions.
The essays contained in this book are a good start for understanding the real world, and how to “avoid being deceived by economists”, to quote the great Joan Robinson. The author gives us a good tour d’horizon of his writings over the last few decades, which should convince even the least ardent reader of the benefits of heterodox and Post-Keynesian economics.
