""Theories of Aggregate Income Distribution"" by Paul Davidson is a comprehensive study of the different theories regarding the distribution of income in a society. The book delves into the various economic theories that explain the factors that influence the distribution of income, including classical economics, neoclassical economics, Keynesian economics, and Marxist economics. Davidson explores the different approaches to measuring income distribution, including the Gini coefficient and the Lorenz curve, and evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of each method. He also discusses the impact of government policies on income distribution, such as taxes and welfare programs. The book provides a historical overview of income distribution in different countries, including the United States, Japan, and Europe. Davidson also examines the role of globalization and technological change in shaping income distribution in the modern world. Overall, ""Theories of Aggregate Income Distribution"" is a valuable resource for economists, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex factors that influence income distribution in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The purpose of this volume is to reopen the discussion of how to develop the economic theory of investment to better model the facts of experience and to provide policy makers with a better understanding of how capital markets work. In this final decade of the twentieth century, almost everyone agrees that human progress will be closely related to the decisions regarding the investments made to promote economic growth of output. Despite the Nobel prize work done in recent decades, economic performance in this area seems to have worsened. Clearly, a reopening of public discussion on what is required is necessary. Until we get our theory right, it is impossible to get our public policy right. This book does not promise to provide “the” correct theory. Instead, it hopes to stimulate the reader into an understanding of where we may have gone wrong, and how we might rectify our mistakes.

How did economic ''experts'' worldwide fail to predict the financial crisis of 2007-2008? Eminent economist Paul Davidson discusses how mainstream economic theory may not be applicable to the world of experience. Post Keynesian theory, on the other hand, is designed to be applicable to the real world, and this book shows how applying it to policy formulation could help practically resolve economic problems. Davidson goes on to show how many Post Keynesian economists warned of the crisis as early as 2002.Post Keynesian Theory and Policy challenges the axioms on which orthodox economic theory is based and argues against their applicability to a money-using, market-oriented economy. It explores the basis for Keynes's revolutionary general theory and seeks to dispel misconceptions often found in orthodox textbooks. This accessible and expertly constructed book explains why modern economies use money-denominated contracts to organize all market transactions for production and exchange and why the law of comparative advantage's argument for free trade is not applicable to mass production industries' exports and imports. This book is a valuable resource for professional economists as well as students and academics in economics, political Science, and history, who will appreciate its new perspective and analysis of global financial events.

Paul Davidson investigates why the 1990s was a decade of financial crises that almost precipitated a global market crash. He explores the reasons why the global economy still struggles with the aftermath of these crises and discusses the possibility that volatile financial markets in the future will have real impacts on whole industries and national economic systems.The author highlights the central role that domestic and international financial markets play in determining the economic growth rate, unemployment rate and international payments position of capitalist economies. He explains why the primary function of financial markets is to create liquidity and demonstrates that a liquid market cannot be efficient, and an efficient market cannot be liquid. He also proves that preventing liquidity problems from developing in national and international financial markets is the key element in fostering prosperity. Statistical evidence and theoretical analysis are combined to demonstrate why orthodox prescriptions for 'liberalizing' labor, product, and capital markets are the wrong policies for promoting a civilized society in the 21st century.Professional economists, financial reporters, government policy makers, those working in international economic organizations such as the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO, and concerned citizens will all benefit greatly from reading this highly acclaimed book.

In this updated and revised edition of Post Keynesian Macroeconomic Theory, Paul Davidson explains how and why contemporary macroeconomic textbooks fail to incorporate Keynes's liquidity and financial analysis framework to explain the importance of money and financial markets in the real world of experience. This important text develops Keynes's analytical framework for both closed and open economies and provides policy guidance for the global economy of the twenty-first century. In particular, it deals with problems such as inflation, financial contagion, global unemployment, outsourcing, trade patterns, and developing an international financial system that encourages expansionary growth among all trading partners while avoiding sovereign debt problems. Using this textbook in macroeconomics courses will provide students with a pragmatic insight that will be both useful and productive. Contents: 1. The Background for Keynes's Revolution 2.

Controversies in Post Keynesian Economics proves that it is possible to meet the most exacting scholarly standards while also managing to make economics enjoyable to read. Professor Davidson provides a lucid review of the debates between neoclassical Keynesians, monetarists and post Keynesians. These debates have been rekindled as a result of the revitalisation of the post Keynesian tradition coupled with the failure of the monetarist approach to explain economic developments in the 1980s. He develops this history of the struggle for the minds of economists, as well as explaining in intelligible language, the different roles assigned to money, contracts and the uncertainty of the inflationary process. In conclusion, he discusses which of these theories is likely to be most relevant to the economic problems that will be facing the free world in the 21st century.

Commander Paul Davidson is not a submariner himself, but through detailed research, wide reading, and lengthy discussions with current and former submarine commanding officers, he has written a most comprehensive and interesting account of the capabilities and utilization of the submarine as both a tactical and strategic weapon over the past 100 years. His book gives the reader a unique insight into the world of the undersea warrior. - Commodore Michael Dunne AM RAN Retd.This book presents a comprehensive exploration of the Australian submarine service within the broader context of global submarine warfare history. Delving into extensive research and literature, it meticulously traces the evolution and operational trajectory of submarines, spanning from their rudimentary forms a century ago to their pivotal roles in both World Wars, the Cold War era, and the contemporary proliferation of conventional and nuclear-powered submarines across various naval fleets worldwide.A focal point of analysis is the in-depth examination of the renowned 'Perisher' course, illuminating the training regimen for submarine commanders. Through insightful interviews with multiple Australian captains, the book extracts valuable lessons on effective leadership that transcend maritime warfare.Throughout its narrative, the book interweaves historical anecdotes highlighting the formidable potency of submarines as formidable instruments of war, capable of serving as deterrents and, if necessary, as destructive forces. Consequently, it provides a timely and pertinent overview of the burgeoning significance of submarines within the landscape of international naval conflicts.Paul Davidson did national service as an Air Force officer in the Vietnam War era, before spending 15 years as a clinical psychologist in Australia and New Zealand, and 30 years as a university business educator, including six years teaching in the Royal Australian Naval Staff College at HMAS Penguin. More recently he served as a naval officer in the Submarine branch and instructor in the Australian Defence College, and in naval strategy. He published academic papers and widely recommended books in the field of Management, Human Resource Management, and Project Management. Now, he has brought his scholarship to bear as an amateur naval historian, in writing about Australian Submarines and their place in the history of naval warfare.

This is a book with many benefits. Davidson explains the importance of the market economy, and unveils how and why global financial crises occur when the liquidity of financial assets traded in the market, suddenly collapse.70 years after Keynes’ death, in another era of financial crisis and economic slump, Keynes’ ideas have made a comeback within economic circles. Yet these ideas are not represented in contemporary government policy decisions. This book explains why Keynes’ ideas need to be used by political parties in order to restore global prosperity and close the gap between income and wealth inequality. This book will is essential reading for researchers, practitioners, students and the wider public interested in an economic understanding of today's global economic problems.
