Nicholas KaldorThe Economics and Politics of Capitalism as a Dynamic System\nAuthor(s): Ferdinando Targetti\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Oxford University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Clarendon Press\nISBN-13: 9780198283485, 978-0198283485\nSynopsis\nNicholas Kaldor [tel] was one of this century's most original thinkers on economics, his influence on British economic policy second only to that of Keynes.\n\nThis book traces the development of Kaldor's thought as it underwent a remarkable evolution from his membership of the Austrian neoclassical school to his embracing of radical Keynesianism. He was also extremely quick to grasp essential changes in economic reality and to forge analytical tools to explain them. Although he was innovative from 1938 onwards, much of his seminal work belongs to a coherent project of research which made him, together with Joan Robinson and Micha? Kalecki, a leading representative of the post-Keynesian school, an outstanding critic of the neoclassic.
