The focus of this book is on the vitality which the ideas of Marx, Schumpeter and Keynes can still bring to contemporary economics. As Robin Heilbroner remarks in his essay, these men represent the quintessential revolutionary, the conservative and the liberal This volume examines the issues raised through the cross-fertilization of neoclassical economics with the forms of dissent represented by Marx, Schumpeter and Keynes. The essays also explore concrete policy implications derived from applying Marxian, Schumpeterian, and Keynesian analysis to public policy formation.

Includes bibliographies.

The lives of three great economists—Marx, Schumpeter, and Keynes—overlapped momentarily one hundred years ago. Each of these economists was a dissenter and critic of the mainstream economic thought of his time; each was linked to an earlier tradition in economics that focused on the internal dynamics and viability of capitalism; each developed a general system or model based on a unique social vision of the nature of capitalism and the quality of life it engenders. All have been called geniuses and yet, to this day, their theories have either been ignored or not fully tapped by the economics profession.
