Keynesian Working Group

About

A Keynesian approach to economics supposes that output and employment growth of capitalist economies are constrained by aggregate demand. Join us to explore how the Keynesian framework can help us to deal with our challenging times.

Coordinators:
Helena Morais (Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil)
Guilherme Spinato Morlin (University of Pisa, Italy)
Gabriel Petrini da Silveira (University of Campinas, Brazil)
