Richard F. Kahn: An Intellectual Biography


Overview

This book is the first comprehensive intellectual biography of Richard F. Kahn. Focusing on the development of his ideas, their cultural and political context, and his influence on academia and economic policy, it presents a complete and representative study of Kahn. Particular attention is paid to his work on the theory of imperfect competition, liquidity preference and speculation, inflation and unemployment, and macroeconomics more generally. Kahn’s connections with Marshallian economics, his relationship with Keynes, and his role in the development of post-Keynesian economics at Cambridge are also discussed. Richard F. Kahn: An Intellectual Biography highlights Richard F. Kahn’s contribution to post-war macroeconomic theory and policy. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in economics, economic policy and the history of economic thought.
