This groundbreaking new core textbook encourages students to take a more critical approach to the prevalent assumptions around the subject of macroeconomics, by comparing and contrasting heterodox and orthodox approaches to theory and policy. The first such textbook to develop a heterodox model from the ground up, it is based on the principles of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) as derived from the theories of Keynes, Kalecki, Veblen, Marx, and Minsky, amongst others. The internationally-respected author team offer appropriate fiscal and monetary policy recommendations, explaining how the poor economic performance of most of the wealthy capitalist countries over recent decades could have been avoided, and delivering a well-reasoned practical and philosophical argument for the heterodox MMT approach being advocated. The book is suitable for both introductory and intermediate courses, offering a thorough overview of the basics and valuable historical context, while covering everything needed for more advanced courses. Issues are explained conceptually, with the more technical, mathematical material in chapter appendices, offering greater flexibility of use.

Macroeconomics

Thomas Fazi

The crisis of the neoliberal order has resuscitated a political idea widely believed to be consigned to the dustbin of history. Brexit, the election of Donald Trump, and the neo-nationalist, anti-globalisation and anti-establishment backlash engulfing the West all involve a yearning for a relic of the past: national sovereignty.In response to these challenging times, economist William Mitchell and political theorist Thomas Fazi reconceptualise the nation state as a vehicle for progressive change. They show how despite the ravages of neoliberalism, the state still contains resources for democratic control of a nation's economy and finances. The populist turn provides an opening to develop an ambitious but feasible left political strategy.Reclaiming the State offers an urgent, provocative and prescient political analysis of our current predicament, and lays out a comprehensive strategy for revitalising progressive economics in the 21st century.

C.B. Colby is a musicial in Texas. Always a writer at heart, he was inspired to pen Rock Bottom after reading the diary of a friend in drug rehab, a 30 year old crack addict with a 4th grade education. Her misspellings of elementary school English amused him and her poignant daily journal of drug addiction inspired him to write.

Dieses Buch beweist einmal mehr, dass es nicht um schnelle Urteile und Stellungnahmen geht, sondern um ein auf historische Zusammenhänge und ein bestimmtes theoretisches Verständnis gestütztes Wissen, aus dem die politische Kritik wie selbstverständlich folgt. Dass Bill Mitchell an den derzeit herrschenden wirtschaftspolitischen Verhältnissen in Europa kein gutes Haar lässt, mag man als Europäer bedauern, ist man intellektuell ehrlich, muss man ihm aber weitgehend zustimmen. Bill Mitchell leistet mit seinem Buch einen großartigen Beitrag dazu, in Europa die einseitige Diskussion und die einseitige Politik zu beenden. Ganz besonders wichtig ist aber die deutsche Ausgabe, weil hierzulande die Diskussion noch viel steriler verläuft als in den übrigen Ländern. Deutschland fühlt sich im Recht, weil es erfolgreich ist. Doch der Erfolg alleine ist sowohl in den zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen als auch in den Beziehungen zwischen Nationen ein schlechter Indikator für vernünftiges Verhalten. Nur wer hinter die Kulissen schaut, die Vorgänge versteht und für dieses Verstehen einen angemessenen theoretischen Rahmen hat, sollte über Recht und Unrecht urteilen. Bill Mitchell verfügt über all diese Fähigkeiten, weswegen sein Buch hoffentlich bald zum Standardrepertoire des Faches gehört. Heiner Flassbeck

Dead Suns Eleven is a novel by author William Mitchell and published by nereusmedia.

Dead Suns Eleven

"Mitchell's experiences were similar to those of thousands of young men. Because his mother kept his wartime letters, readers of this book can catch glimpses of a world long vanished and an era that now seems innocent and naive. Mitchell worried about washing out, but he eventually learned to do nighttime "blitz" landings without lights, to loop and roll and recover from a spin, to identify an aircraft from its silhouette, and to navigate cross country. Like many of his peers, he wanted to be a pursuit pilot, but he was assigned to C-47s, a disappointment to which he resigned himself. As a member of the 73d Squadron of the 434th Troop Carrier Group, he delivered glider infantry at Normandy, dropped airborne troops during Operation Market Garden, and supplied the 101st Airborne Division during the Battle of the Bulge."--BOOK JACKET.

This book by William Mitchell and Joan Muysken is both important and timely. It deals with the issue of the abandonment of full employment as an objective of economic policy in the OECD countries. It argues persuasively that macroeconomic policy has been restrictive over the recent, and not so recent past, and has produced substantial open and disguised unemployment. But the authors show how a job guarantee policy can enable workers, who would otherwise be unemployed, to earn a wage and not depend on welfare support. If such a policy is fully supported by appropriate fiscal and monetary programmes, it can create full employment with price stability, which the authors label as a Non-Accelerating-Inflation-Buffer Employment Ratio (NAIBER). This book is essential reading for any one wishing to understand how we can return to full employment as the normal state of affairs. Philip Arestis, University of Cambridge, UK This book dismantles the arguments used by policy makers to justify the abandonment of full employment as a valid goal of national governments. Bill Mitchell and Joan Muysken trace the theoretical analysis of the nature and causes of unemployment over the last 150 years and argue that the shift from involuntary to natural rate conceptions of unemployment since the 1960s has driven an ideological backlash against Keynesian policy interventions. The authors contend that neo-liberal governments now consider unemployment to be an individual problem rather than a reflection of systemic policy failure and that they are content to use unemployment as a policy instrument to control inflation and coerce the unemployed with work tests and compliance programmes rather than provide sufficient employment. They present a comprehensive theoretical and empirical critique of this policy approach, with a refreshing new framework for understanding modern monetary economies. The authors show that the reinstatement of full employment with price stability is a viable policy goal that can be achieved by activist fiscal policy through the introduction of a Job Guarantee. Full Employment Abandoned will appeal to graduate and postgraduate students and researchers of economics and politics with an interest in macroeconomic policy and the labour market, particularly unemployment and neo-liberal policy frameworks.

This ground-breaking book provides an abundance of fresh insights into Shakespeare's life in relation to his lost family home, New Place. The findings of a major archaeological excavation encourage us to think again about what New Place meant to Shakespeare and, in so doing, challenge some of the long-held assumptions of Shakespearian biography. New Place was the largest house in the borough and the only one with a courtyard. Shakespeare was only ever an intermittent lodger in London. His impressive home gave Shakespeare significant social status and was crucial to his relationship with Stratford-upon-Avon. Archaeology helps to inform biography in this innovative and refreshing study which presents an overview of the site from prehistoric times through to a richly nuanced reconstruction of New Place when Shakespeare and his family lived there, and beyond. This attractively illustrated book is for anyone with a passion for archaeology or Shakespeare.

Self Portrait is the story of sculpture, artist and designer Bill Mitchell whose experiments with materials and methods and his determination to produce magnificent works of art led to an amazizing career. In Self Portrait he describes how he saw the world as being saturated in color, seeing glamour and beauty in what could be dismissed as bleak London streets. He was determined to cover the world with sculptures, murals and decoration are main themes, as is his dislike of minimalism and the established art world . Included are stories about his discussions on art with Princess Margaret, his clashes with Prince Philip, his battles with Mohamed Al Fayed and the phenomenal success of the Egyptian Hall and Escalator at Harrods. Self Portrait contains a vast array of illustrations of Bill's work and a true creative genius who invariably had a smile or comic story to offer, and whose energy carried projects to completion despite the many challenges.
