Cool, I’m not familiar with that field, but it sounds interesting.
His 1978 book Capital Accumulation and Income Distribution critiques mainstream economic theories, using mathematical modeling to propose an alternative model for thinking about the effects of capital accumulation on income inequality, economic growth, instability, and other phenomena. He has worked extensively on analysis and policy regarding the economy of Jamaica.[2] He served in Jamaica, at various times, as economic policy consultant to the government and as economic adviser to successive prime ministers.[3][4] On October 18, 2021, he was honored with the Order of Merit, Jamaica’s National Honor award, “for his outstanding contribution to national development”.[5]
Sounds like a cool dude.
Also, fun coincidence that he has the same first name and middle initial as Trump.
If he is smart enough to be into marxist economics and understand it. All while raising a woman the right way and not ditching her and she goes on to be a prosectur, senator, and VP I say hey more power to him. If I had a kid I would read them at night the history of the world so they understand when they get older. But not really going to have kids because I move every 6 to 3 months depending on the contract.
Dude’s still alive… he IS a Marxist Economist.
Even presidential candidates can be disappointments to their parents.
Oh NO! Who the fuck cares?
I feel like this is one of the poorer Snopes articles I’ve seen. His work was primarily post-Keynesian and focused on reformed and more equitable forms of capitalism.
Here’s his work from the late 70’s https://www.jstor.org/stable/27861872
I’d also argue that anyone that is teaching econ in college is going to be covering Keynes, Marx, etc. All the big influential economists get covered. You learn it all.
