Palley also explains post-Keynesian economist Hyman Minsky's financial instability hypothesis. While Dr. Palley admires the work of New Keynesian economist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, he does see crucial differences between the economics of post-Keynesians who saw the financial crisis coming and New Keynesians like Paul Krugman who most represent Keynesianism in the minds of the mainstream media.
