Alfred Eichner, Post-Keynesians, and Money’s Endogeneity: Filling in the Horizontalist Black Box

I never met Alfred Eichner. He passed away when I was in my senior year of college. But this does not mean that I was not familiar with his work. In fact, as an undergraduate student in economics at the University of Ottawa, studying under Marc Lavoie and Mario Seccareccia, I was introduced to his work early on, especially his Introduction to Post-Keynesian Economics, and Eichner’s work on credit and money was required reading in the fourth-year course, Post-Keynesian Economics: Money and Effective Demand.
