Re: What's a Good Post Keynesian textbook?

[Geoff Edwards <g.edwards@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Tom

I suggest that you read a new book by Hugh Stretton. Stretton is one of
Australia's most prominent public intellectuals with a distinguished record
of publication in political science, public affairs and economics. His
books are highly insightful as to the roles of government and markets in a
modern mixed society.

Bibliographic note below.

Title "Economics : a new introduction".
Author Stretton, Hugh
Publication Sydney : UNSW Press, 1999.
Description xii, 852 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
Notes Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary Note A bold, innovative new textbook in which Hugh Stretton defies
conventional economic orthodoxy by arguing that neoclassical economic
theory is the wrong kind of science for the job. The book draws on elements
of institutional, Keynesian, green and feminist thought, but its focus is
on economic life and understanding it.

Subject:	What's a Good Post Keynesian textbook?

Dear List,

I am a Sociology major, but I am interested in Post-Keynesian economics
from
my readings of Palley and Galbraith.  Can anyone tell me about a good
general
(macro or micro) economics text?

Thanks very much,
Tom
