Keynes and the 'Classics': A Study in Language, Epistemology and Mistaken Identities

Is there a language which is adequate to describe our own economy?

In this volume, Michel Verdon undertakes a path-breaking analysis of the three major paradigms in economics: Marxian economics, neo-classical economics and Keynesian economics. Each of these, he argues, has an inherent cosmology, and in the case of both Marxian and neo-classical economics these preclude the development of a language which can accurately describe and analyse an economy.
