Bibliography on Post Keynesian Methodology

Having looked at Austrian economic methodology recently, I will turn to the Post Keynesian methodology in coming weeks, and I provide a bibliography below of sources on methodological issues in Post Keynesian economics.

In essence, there are three, partly overlapping, methodologies proposed for Post Keynesian economics:

(1) Critical realism;

(2) the Babylonian approach of Sheila Dow (1990; 1996), and

(3) Paul Davidson’s (1996) “generalising” methodology.
