Institutions, Behaviour and Economic TheoryA Contribution to Classical-Keynesian Political Economy\nAuthor(s): Heinrich Bortis\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9780521570558, 978-0521570558\nSynopsis\nThis book is about the conceptual foundations of an intermediate way between liberalism and socialism: a synthesis of classical (Ricardian) and Keynesian political economy. Classical theory deals with proportions between individuals or collectives and society in tackling problems of distribution and value. Keynesian theory is concerned with the scale of economic activity as explained by effective demand. The economy considered is primarily a monetary production economy, not a market or a planned economy. The author sets up a system linking political economy with other social sciences, [url] sociology, law and politics in the traditional sense, thus establishing the unity of the social sciences.
