Abstract: | Summary John Hicks was the first economist to use a general equilibrium framework as a foundation for a dynamic macroeconomic analysis.
A critical assessment of his work in this area is used to evaluate the contributions of the ‘micro-foundations’ discussions
of the 1970’s. It is noted that Hicks’s starting point, the question of the role of money in a general equilibrium framework,
is precisely where the current debate has arrived some fifty years later. This delay, and the foundations debate, were due
in large part to Hicks’s own attempts to interpret Keynes’s theory in terms of his own, original framework.
Suggestions and comments from P. Davidson, O. Steiger, and the editor, as well as the participants of seminars in the University
of Bremen and the Economics Institute of the Faculty of Statistics of the University of Rome are acknowledged without implication
of responsibility. |
