Another Thomas Palley Critique Of Neochartalism — Ramanan

Another Thomas Palley Critique Of Neochartalism — Ramanan

For the record. My view on this is that it fails to correctly present the MMT position (again).  MMT is a macroeconomic theory based on institutional analysis rather than being either an axiomatic system like conventional economics or a socio-economic and political analysis like Marxian economics. That is to say, MMT is framed in terms of the existing world system. It is an alternative to "neoliberalism," in so far as it is in the Paleo-Keynesian tradition (versus the New Keynesian or Samuelson New Synthesis). That is to say, as a macroeconomic theory it does not deal directly with social and political issues that go beyond the field of economics as it is currently practiced. However, MMT also has implications for political

Introductory lectures on heterodox economics – Tom Palley – FMM

FMM Conference The Spectre of Stagnation? Europe in the World
Economy
Introductury Lecure on heterodox economics – Tom Palley

This Keynote is about: Introduction to Post-Keynesian Economics

Description of the Conference:
While the Great Financial Crisis has left its mark almost everywhere in the world economy, its regions have taken different paths in the aftermath. Europe, in particular, still suffers a prolonged slump with vast levels of unemployment and outright deflation posing a threat to political and social stability of the European Union. Is stagnation the new normal for Europe? Why did some parts of the world recover faster after the crisis, while others did not? Are their paths economically, ecologically and socially sustainable or do they only mask a general trend towards
