Book Announcement — John T. Harvey — CONTENDING PERSPECTIVES IN ECONOMICS
Edward Elgar Publishing
CONTENDING PERSPECTIVES IN ECONOMICS
A Guide to Contemporary Schools of Thought
John T. Harvey, Texas Christian University, US
‘This wise and lucid guide to pluralism in economics embodies the
values of its cause. Generous, open-minded, fair, accurate and
accessible: John Harvey’s new book is a fine achievement that every
economics major should read.’
– James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin, US
'Fifty years ago I used Robert L. Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers to get students excited about economics. Today I would use John T. Harvey's Contending Perspectives in Economics. The book is beautifully written and full of insights into who economists are and why they think the way they do.'
– Paul D. Bush, California State University, US
'Economics is a mess. Oppositional clans ("schools"), pseudo-science, corruption of various kinds and relentless disdain for the real-world predominate. If you are thinking of entering this war-zone, then reading John Harvey's Contending Perspectives in Economics is your best bet for retaining your intellectual health.'
– Edward Fullbrook, University of the West of England, UK
'I just finished reading the book! I feel like I learned so much from it, and not just in terms of the information itself. As I read, it stimulated so much thought I found myself writing many pages on things I'd never even thought about!'
– Marcus Schiebold, Economics Undergraduate Student, University of North Texas, US
John Harvey's accessible book provides a non-technical yet rigorous introduction to various schools of thought in economics. Premised on the idea that economic thinking has been stunted by the almost complete rejection of anything outside the mainstream, the author hopes that this volume will open readers' minds and lead them in new and productive directions. In his exploration of Neoclassical, Marxist, Austrian, Post Keynesian, Institutionalist, New Institutionalist and Feminist schools of thought, unique features of each approach are highlighted, complemented by discussions of methodology, world views, popular themes, and current activities. Accurate and impartial, every chapter covering a heterodox school of thought has been vetted by an acknowledged expert in that field.

Steve Keen — What Austerity Hawks Ignore
My fellow Post Keynesian and good mate Professor John Harvey published an excellent piece on his Forbes blog today, pointing out the fallacy of composition in the pro-austerity. He took his cue from anti-austerity riots in Belgium:….
I thought it was a great post (and he’d come up with the analogy the night before when we shared dinner after establishing an exchange agreement between our two universities, TCU and Kingston). So I tweeted it and thought nothing more of it.
But then my work on a presentation defending mathematics in economics that I‘m giving at Cambridge University on Monday was disturbed by a series of aggressive tweets from Geert Noels, the author of Econoshock, who argued that Belgium wasn’t in fact practicing austerity:….Steve Keen's Debtwatch

John T. Harvey — What Obama Should Say (But Won't)
Read it at Forbes | Leadership
We are in serious economic straits and President Obama is getting part of the story right. The part that he isn’t, however, has the capacity to sink us all on its own. I’m afraid to listen tomorrow night because I know that any positives he offers will be offset by his voluntary handcuffing of our ability to stimulate growth and employment…and we won’t get his desired shift towards the middle class and middle class values if we continue to have over ten million unemployed citizens.

John T. Harvey at Forbes - April 18
Prof. John T. Harvey posts at Forbes on The Big Danger In Cutting The Deficit
"I have been a professional economist for almost 25 years, but never have I been more concerned about the state of our macroeconomy. Yet it's not so much the current rate of unemployment or GDP growth that has me scared to death; it's the so-called solutions being pursued in Washington...."
Amen.
