My new book Prosperity for All: How to Prevent Financial Crises, from Oxford University Press. In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, economists around the world have advanced theories to explain the persistence of high unemployment and low growth rates. According to Roger E. A. Farmer, these theories can be divided into two leading schools of thought: the ideas of pre-Keynesian scholars who blame the recession on bad economic policy, and the suggestions of "New Keynesian" scholars who propose standard modifications to select assumptions of Keynes' General Theory.... More detailed Description and Table of Contents available from Oxford University Press site.  Preorder HERE from OUP; the book will ship September 1st 2016.

Expectations Employment and Prices is a monograph aimed at an academic audience. It brings Keynesian economics into the 21st century by providing a new paradigm which explains how high unemployment could potentially persist forever without a little help from the government. The book fills in logical gaps that were missing from the General Theory by reconciling some of its key ideas with modern economic theory. Central bankers throughout the world are talking now about developing a second instrument of monetary policy in addition to controlling the interest rate. This book directly addresses this issue and offers new creative monetary policy proposals and suggestions for the design of new financial institutions forthe 21st century.

How the Economy Works: Confidence Crashes and Self-Fulfilling Prophecies translates the scientific arguments of Expectations, Employment and Prices into English, and although the book was written for the general reader, there will also be much to interest those with a specialist knowledge of economics. It is more important than ever that the public understands the dominant schools of economic thought, how they developed in response to previous crises, and how contemporary economists’ beliefs are influencing the policies that have such a huge impact on peoples’ everyday lives.  This book combines the best ideas from Keynesian and classical economics and offers a new tool that central banks can use to prevent future bubbles and crashes in the stock market.
