 The Rise and, Hopefully, the Fall of Economic Neo-Liberalism in Theory and Practice (2009)Chapter 7 in On Skidelsky’s Keynes and Other Essays, 2012, pp 149-155 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract I count it a great privilege to contribute the opening essay to this issue of The Economic and Labour Relations Review, which is celebrating its first 20 years. Over that time, the journal has been an outlet for independent and outspoken, often unfashionable views, upholding traditions steeped in the thoughts of Michal Kalecki and Maynard Keynes, and some of Australia’s wisest economists. (Even Karl Marx gets a mention.) I am most grateful to the editors for asking me to be their opening bat. Since the 1970s, we have seen the rise to dominance in theory and policy of what Joan Robinson (1964) aptly dubbed ‘Pre-Keynesian theory after Keynes’. In the economics profession, these phenomena have been especially associated with the writings of Milton Friedman, Friedrich von Hayek and Robert Lucas, Jnr. They have spawned many surrogates in the USA, the UK, Continental Europe, Latin America, parts of Asia and, sadly, in the Antipodes as well Keywords: Monetary Policy; Finance Capital; Full Employment; Labour Relation Review; Investment Expenditure (search for similar items in EconPapers) There are no downloads for this item, see the EconPapers FAQ for hints about obtaining it.
