Franco Modigliani and Keynesian Economics by Antonella Rancan

Franco Modigliani and Keynesian Economics by Antonella Rancan

This book follows the intellectual path of Franco Modigliani, Nobel Prize winner and one of the most influential Keynesian economists of the twentieth century, tracing his development and examining the social and political implications of his research.

"Antonella Rancan’s new book retraces the intellectual path of Franco Modigliani, from his early writings, including the famous article on Keynesian and classical economics (Modigliani 1944), to his contributions of the 1950s and 1960s1 In this way, Rancan offers relevant insights into the origins and development of the neoclassical synthesis of Keynesian macroeconomic thinking."

"It stands to Rancan’s credit that she traces the foundations of Modigliani’s Keynesian belief in discretionary economic policy as a stabilising tool to his early convictions as student and young researcher. As Rancan makes clear, it is on the terrain of empirical analysis, economic policy and value judgements, rather than on the strictly theoretical ground, that Modigliani’s Keynesianism is defined."
