'Bill Dunn is probably the perfect person to write this book. I don’t know of anyone else writing “critical” political economy who has such a synthetic grasp of both Marxian and Keynesian economics. The fact that his name will be on the cover will make people trust what is between them.'Geoff Mann, Professor, Department of Geography, Simon Fraser University'The worlds between Marx and Keynes are separated by many things: ideologically, politically and ideologically, but also epistemologically. Efforts have been made over the last few decades to theoretically integrate one of the two figures into the other. Or others have just underlined the absolute opposite of the two. Dunn certainly doesn't want to do either exercise again.'Masereel Fonds
