Post Keynesian Textbooks

[larson@xxxxxx (S R Larsson)]

Speaking of macro textbooks: How come there is such little interest among
Post Keynesians in writing textbooks? This question is directed not
primarily to the veterans - William Dareity, James Galbraith and Paul
Davidson have already made strong efforts in this direction - but to the
younger men and women of the PK community. I hereby volunteer to organize a
group whose long-term prime directive it would be to form a Post Keynesian
textbook for the introductory levels of economics.

Too ambitious? Don't think so. If we have the ambition to design a platform
for a textbook, then at least we should be able to standardize PK theory to
such an extent that it becomes easier to use in college teaching - i.e. to
challenge mainstream as the sole food for the world's masses of econ
students.

Anyone interested? Just express your suppport for the idea for the time
being, and we can look more closely at the idea later on.
