Through tracing the development of his early work and pre-Keynesian ideas, the influence of Keynes and the 1937-8 recession on the direction of his work is explored, particularly in relation to his theoretical backing of the New Deal and subsequent American policy. The subsequent chapters focus on his later work on secular stagnation, savings and investment, American Keynesianism, managing the post-war mixed economy and the often overlooked contributions to global questions and wider aspects of political economy and public policy. This book aims to highlight the intellectual influence and academic value of Alvin Hansen?s work. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in economic policy, political economy, and the history of economic thought. Robert J. Bigg holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge in the history of economic thought. His research interests include the development of monetary and macroeconomic theory and intellectual biography. Previously published works include Cambridge and the Monetary Theory of Production together with entries for The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics, and The Palgrave Companion to Oxford Economics. 410 0$aGreat Thinkers in Economics,$x2662-6284 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aEconomic Policy 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 14$aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 676 $a330.01 700 $aBigg$b Robert J.$f1957-$0119587 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765495003321 996 $aAlvin Hansen$93645555 997 $aUNINA
