Keynes' Antagonist: Correspondence between Alvin Hansen and Dennis Holme Robertson

Anthony L. Higgins and J. W. Wright

The American Economist, 1998, vol. 42, issue 1, 82-89

Abstract: Sir Dennis Holme Robertson's work provides a major contribution to the study of industrial fluctuation in the economy. An early collaborator with John M. Keynes, Robertson later became a major antagonist of the General Theory. In addition, new evidence from recently found documents indicates that Robertson not only criticized Keynes' work, but also that of his supporters, especially Alvin Hansen. This study provides an analysis, within the history of macro economic thought, of the importance of Robertson and Hansen's correspondence.
