Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

This course considers the economic writings of John Maynard Keynes and the interpretations that have been offered of both his theories of the macroeconomy and the importance of his contributions. The course includes examination of Keynes' early writings as well as a careful reading of The General Theory, his most important work. Following these discussions, students examine the evolution of Keynesian theory within the orthodox economic tradition, considering both what was added to Keynes, and what was taken away. They also address the "revolutionary" nature of Keynes's contributions. Finally, they explore the development of Keynes's ideas by the postKeynesian economists in the U.S. and Great Britain to see how this interpretation of Keynes differs from the standard approach to his work.
