Summary:

Painting a relatively grim picture of the current global economy's prospects for growth and warning of the possibility of the industrialized world experiencing its own "lost decade" in their introduction, editors Gnos (U. of Bougogne, France), Rochon (director, International Economic Policy Institute, Laurentian U., Canada), and Tropeano (economics, U. of Macerata, Italy) present 14 chapters in which Post-Keynesian economists address key aspects of the current economic landscape. The first seven chapters focus on issues of labor, employment policy, and income distribution, including economic dependence and employment in the Maghreb; Income distribution, growth, and financialization in the case of Italy; critique of recent developments in the estimation of the non-accelerating-inflation rate of unemployment; and unemployment in Europe. The remaining seven papers shift focus to growth, development, and exchange rates and include discussions of the East Asian experience with exchange rate policy, a Keynesian-structuralist growth strategy for Latin America, and the effect of interest rates on economic growth in developing countries.
