This book is the first comprehensive intellectual biography of Richard F. Kahn. It focuses on the development of his ideas, their cultural and political context, and his influence during one of the most interesting periods for the development of economics in the 20th century. Particular attention is paid to Kahn's work on the theory of imperfect competition, liquidity preference and speculation, inflation and unemployment. Kahn's connection with Marshallian economics, his relationship with Keynes, and his role in the development of the post-Keynesian economics at Cambridge are also discussed. Richard F. Kahn: An Intellectual Biography highlights Richard F. Kahn's contribution to post-war macroeconomic theory and policy. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in economics, economic policy and the history of economic thought. Paolo Paesani is Full Professor of History of Economic Thought at the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
