Recent banking and the financial crises: Minsky versus the financial liberalizationists

During his lifetime Hyman Minsky made a seminal contribution to the development of financial Keynesianism. In this book, leading academics celebrate his work and explore his economic legacy. Special attention is paid to his work on contemporary economic method, the Great Depression, the European single currency and the global financial system and recent banking and financial crises – in particular the crisis in Asia. An attempt is made to categorise Minsky's brand of post Keynesianism and to compare his work with the Keynesian and Marxian traditions.
