Summary
Capital theory is renowned for the controversies with which it is associated. In this book we survey the background to, and the issues of, the latest controversy, the debates between the two Cambridges – Cambridge, England, and Cambridge, Massachusetts. We designate the two sets of protagonists, for convenience but rather loosely, as the neo-neoclassicals and the neo-Keynesians.
