Post Keynesian Textbooks

There are a vast number of textbooks that teach economics from the mainstream neoclassical perspective, or what we call the new consensus macroeconomics.

Post Keynesian economics textbooks are also available, and the following ones are important:

Tarshis (1947) and Robinson and Eatwell (1973) are more of historical interest now, while Philip Arestis (1992; 1994), Thomas Palley (1996), and Paul Davidson (1994; 2011) are the best, modern works. Marc Lavoie (1992; 1994) gives the most advanced treatment.
