Keynes and Marx by Bill Dunn (English) Paperback Book

Description: Keynes and Marx by Bill Dunn The book develops a sympathetic Marxist critique of Keynes. Keyness insights, particularly into unemployment, money and finance and the importance of state intervention gain greater critical purchase when re-worked on Marxist foundations and doing so also enriches Marxism. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Keynes was an elitist and pro-capitalist economist, whom the left should embrace with caution. But his analysis provides a concreteness missing from Marx and engages with critical issues of the modern world that Marx could not have foreseen. This book argues that a critical Marxist engagement can simultaneously increase the power of Keyness insight and enrich Marxism.Dunn explores Keyness work in the context of the extraordinary times in which he lived, his philosophy, and his politics. By offering a detailed overview of his critique of mainstream economics and General Theory, Dunn argues that Keynes provides an enduringly valuable critique of orthodoxy, and develops a Marxist appropriation of Keyness insights. The book considers the prospects of returning to Keynes, critically reviewing the practices that have come to be known as Keynesianism and the limits of the theoretical traditions that have made claim to his legacy.Bill Dunn is probably the perfect person to write this book. I dont know of anyone else writing "critical" political economy who has such a synthetic grasp of both Marxian and Keynesian economics. The fact that his name will be on the cover will make people trust what is between them. - Geoff Mann, Professor, Department of Geography, Simon Fraser UniversityThe worlds between Marx and Keynes are separated by many things: ideologically, politically and ideologically, but also epistemologically. Efforts have been made over the last few decades to theoretically integrate one of the two figures into the other. Or others have just underlined the absolute opposite of the two. Dunn certainly doesnt want to do either exercise again. - Masereel Fonds Flap Bill Dunn is probably the perfect person to write this book. I dont know of anyone else writing "critical" political economy who has such a synthetic grasp of both Marxian and Keynesian economics. Geoff Mann, Professor, Department of Geography, Simon Fraser University Keynes was an elitist and pro-capitalist economist, whom the left should embrace with caution. But his analysis provides a concreteness missing from Marx and engages with critical issues of the modern world that Marx could not have foreseen. This book argues that a critical Marxist engagement can simultaneously increase the power of Keyness insight and enrich Marxism. To understand Keynes, whose work is liberally invoked but seldom read, Dunn explores him in the context of the extraordinary times in which he lived, his philosophy, and his politics. By offering a detailed overview of Keyness critique of mainstream economics and General Theory, Dunn argues that Keynes provides an enduringly valuable critique of orthodoxy. The book develops a Marxist appropriation of Keyness insights, arguing that a Marxist analysis of unemployment, capital and the role of the state can be enriched through such a critical engagement. The point is to change the world, not just to understand it. Thus the book considers the prospects of returning to Keynes, critically reviewing the practices that have come to be known as Keynesianism and the limits of the theoretical traditions that have made claim to his legacy.

It sees Keynes as an avowedly elitist and pro-capitalist economist, whom the left should embrace with caution but whose analysis provides insights at a level of concreteness which Marxs Capital largely ignored, and which were concerned with issues of the modern world which Marx could not have foreseen. A critical Marxist engagement can simultaneously increase the power of Keyness insight and enrich Marxism. The book puts Keyness ideas in context, outlines his critique of mainstream economics and the arguments of the General Theory and develops a Marxist appropriation of key insights into unemployment, money and interest and the role of the state. It considers different strands of Keynesianism after Keynes and the prospect of a return. Review Quote Bill Dunn is probably the perfect person to write this book.
