About this event

The Department of Economics at SOAS is hosting the workshop of the Post-Keynesian Economics Society (PKES) in honour of Victoria Chick.  

Victoria Chick’s work constitutes one of the most important restorations of Keynes’ General Theory, providing an alternative to orthodox accounts of Keynes. She made several seminal contributions to monetary economics, banking, and economic methodology. 

Her scholarly work advanced our understanding of money and banking, the role of macroeconomic policies in capitalist economies and the evolution of financial systems, among other topics.
