This is the only book that is solely concerned with Post Keynesian price theory and its foundations, and represents a major contributon to the literature of post-Keynesian economics.

    • Explains post-Keynesian price theory
    • A very clear and accessible exposition, making use of archival material, oral histories, interviews and institutional records to develop and ground economic theory
    • Contains the most recent advances in post-Keynesian theory

    Reviews & endorsements

    "Frederic Lee has done Post Keynesian economic a great service...Keynesian Price Theory is compulsory reading for all those interested in a non-neoclassical approach to pricing." Review of Radical Political Economics

    "He has set out to challenge the post Keynesian conventional wisdom that its price theoretic foundations are to be found in either the Kaleckisn or Sraffian approach to prices or in some hybrid of the two." Review of Radical Political Economics
