For my contribution to this collection I have been tasked, first, with examining whether international courts and tribunals ‘challenge or reinforce the distribution of international justice' and, second, with exploring the extent to which international courts and tribunals have achieved ‘the...

The paper discusses the Sraffian supermultiplier (SSM) approach to growth and distribution. It makes five points. First, in the short run the role of autonomous expenditure can be appreciated within a standard post-Keynesian framework (Kaleckian, Kaldorian, Robinsonian, etc.). Second, and...

We present a simple proof of the Clarke-Ledyaev multidirectional mean value inequality on smooth Banach space. As application we establish a formula for the Clarke-Rockafellar directional derivative of lower semicontinuous function

Each society produces a specific quantum of goods and services in order to distribute it among its members for final use. However, due to a number of reasons, the efficiency with which this can be done has varied from society to society and over time within a society. So far, an optimal system...

This contribution provides a review of recent considerations of wage inequality in Kaleckian models of distribution and growth. On the one hand, we address modelling approaches in which a distinction is made between managers and workers, where the salaries of the former are treated as overhead...
