In this video, Professor John Harvey explains some of the real world dynamics of macroeconomics. He talks about the role of the private sector and the government across the economy. John also discusses the complexity of inflation.
John T. Harvey earned his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Tennessee and has been at Texas Christian University ever since. He specializes in international economics (particularly exchange rates), macroeconomics, business cycles, and contemporary schools of thought. Dr. Harvey has over forty refereed publications, plus two edited volumes, two books (plus one forthcoming), and a number of teaching and research awards.
His first volume was Currencies, Capital Flows and Crises (2009, Routledge), which presented a Post Keynesian explanation of exchange rate determination based on the premise that, in contrast to the orthodox view that trade flows drive exchange rate movements, it is financial capital which play the primary role. His second volume was Contending Perspectives in Economics (second edition 2020, Edward Elgar). It is an introduction to eight different contemporary schools of thought, each chapter having been vetted by at least one member of that approach. His forthcoming monograph with Cambridge University Press is US Business Cycles 1954-2020: Sources, Symptoms, Solutions. The theoretical framework is derived from the work of Keynes, Kalecki, Minsky, and Mitchell and the book features a detailed history of the US experience since around the end of the Korean War.
