Financial Assets, Debt and Liquidity Crises
The macroeconomic development of most major industrial
economies is characterised by boom-bust cycles. Normally such
boom-bust cycles are driven by specific sectors of the economy.
In the financial meltdown of the years 2007–9 it was the credit
sector and the real-estate sector that were the main driving forces.
This book takes on the challenge of interpreting and modelling
this meltdown. In doing so it revives the traditional Keynesian
approach to the financial–real economy interaction and the busi-
ness cycle, extending it in several important ways. In particular, it
adopts the Keynesian view of a hierarchy of markets and introduces
a detailed financial sector into the traditional Keynesian framework.
The approach of the book goes beyond the currently dominant
paradigm based on the representative agent, market clearing and
rational economic agents. Instead it proposes an economy popu-
lated with heterogeneous, rationally bounded agents attempting to
cope with disequilibria in various markets.
