Book Description
Originally published in 1976, the 14 papers in this collection discuss the history and significance of the concept of 'involuntary unemployment’, particularly as seen from a Keynesian perspective. The micro-economic foundations of employment and job-search theory and the measurement and the significance of employment statistics are also examined. Later sections consider aspects of unemployment as economic indicators and the relationship between unemployment and vacancies, as well as the social aspects of unemployment. A final chapter considers employment policies during the 20th century in the light of managing the economy.

Book Description
The Great Depression of the 1930s with its dramatic unemployment rates was one of the most striking economic events of the past century. It shook economists' beliefs in the existence of self-adjusting forces and prompted Keynes to write his masterwork, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. Involuntary unemployment was the central concept of Keynes' book. However, after having been considered the sine qua non of economics for decades, it has gradually disappeared from textbooks and research. This book recounts and ponders this demise, asking whether the abandonment of the concept of involuntary unemployment is the manifestation of some inner defect of recent economic theory or is rather due to some intrinsic weakness of the concept itself, which makes it of little use when it comes to economic theorising. In order to disentangle these issues, the author critically reviews the different explanations of involuntary unemployment that have been offered from Keynes up to the end of the 1980s. After consideringThe General Theory, the author studies the works of pioneering macroeconomists such as Hicks, Modigliani, Lange, Leontief, Tobin, Klein and Hansen. An examination of the 're-appraisal of Keynes' and of the so-called disequilibrium school is followed by a discussion of Friedman's and Lucas' anti-Keynesian attack. The final part of the book investigates a series of models purporting to revive the Keynesian project, namely implicit contract, efficiency wages, insider-outsider, coordination failures, and imperfect competition.

Book Description
What sense is the student of economics to make of the seemingly irreconcilable positions espoused by rival schools of thought? How will the student be able to form a balanced judgement of the relative merits and demerits of, for example, the Keynesian and the monetarist approaches to macroeconomics? More fundamentally, what is a Keynesian and how does a Keynesian differ from a monetarist or a new classical macroeconomist. J.A. Trevithick provides a fascinating and highly readable account of macroeconomic theory. He places the emphasis squarely on the Keynesian approach, demonstrating clearly the role of earlier authors in Keynes's development of The General Theory. Moreover, he shows how new classical economics is a conscious reaction to the Keynesian approach. He provides a powerful re-statement of the continuance of Keynes's central role in macroeconomics despite many challenges. No-one, from whatever school, will be able to ignore this book.
