Financial Keynesianism And Market Instability
The Economic Legacy of Hyman Minsky,
Volume I
Edited by Riccardo Bellofiore, Professor of
Economics and Piero Ferri, Professor of
Economics, University of Bergamo, Italy
During his lifetime Hyman Minsky made a seminal contribution to the
development of
financial Keynesianism. In this book, leading academics celebrate his work
and explore his
economic legacy.
Special attention is paid to his work on contemporary economic method, the
Great
Depression, the European single currency and the global financial system
and recent
banking and financial crises - in particular the crisis in Asia. An
attempt is made to
categorise Minsky's brand of post Keynesianism and to compare his work
with the
Keynesian and Marxian traditions.

Financial Fragility And Investment In The Capitalist Economy
The Economic Legacy of Hyman Minsky,
Volume II
Edited by Riccardo Bellofiore, Professor of
Economics and Piero Ferri, Professor of
Economics, University of Bergamo, Italy
Hyman Minsky is renowned for his theoretical and empirical investigation
of the capitalist
economy. In this book, a distinguished list of contributors provides an
authoritative account
of his contribution to the analysis of capitalism and, more particularly,
to the fields of
monetary and post Keynesian economics.
The authors first provide an introduction to Hyman Minsky's economic
legacy before going
on to discuss his role in analysing the macroeconomy, monetary policy and
instability. In
detail, they consider the structural instability of a sophisticated market
economy, the
NAIRU, Minsky's financial fragility hypothesis, his business cycle theory,
his investment
theory and debt inflation.
