If Piketty's main theoretical prediction (rg leads to rising wealth inequality) is taken to its radical conclusion, then a small elite will own all wealth if capitalism is left to its own devices. We formulate and calibrate a Post-Keynesian model with an endogenous distribution of wealth between...

This paper investigates whether post-Keynesian economics is well-equipped to address the ecological crisis we face today. The major crisis of our times has three interrelated dimensions: ecological overshoot, socio-economic inequality and a growth imperative built into the economic system. We...

We investigate the agent-based modeling technique in a model of wealth distribution. In the first part we discuss this modern approach to economic modeling in the light of two major methodological approaches in the history of economic analysis, classical political economy and neo-classical...
