Pasinetti on The Cambridge Keynesians*

Abstract

This is a review article* of a book celebrating Pasinetti’s 90th birthday in 2020, Pasinetti and the Classical Keynesians: Nine Methodological Issues, edited by Enrico Bellino and Sebastiano Nerozzi. His demise in 2023 is, of course regrettable - but it is no excuse for giving a view of a book that was published in his lifetime. The view expressed in this Review Article considers Pasinetti as a vintage member of the Cambridge Keynesian Group, which encompasses, in addition to those near Keynes, those second-generation scholars who also made a contribution—sometimes decisive—to various aspects of Keynesian Economics.
