jun 96

Mainstream economics has suffered a double blow in the last 30 years. First the post-war consensus that government intervention could offset recessions, formed around the work of John Maynard Keynes, was blown apart by the resurgent economic crises of the 1970s. But now the free market dogma which replaced Keynesian economics has proved equally incapable of either explaining capitalism's continuing instability or providing a strategy for overcoming it.
Chris Harman examines the failure of establishment economic thought and charts the dilemma with which it faces both Labour and Tory politicians.
