ABSTRACT

We started this book by noting that Keynes as well as more recent Post Keynesian contributors have pointed at the close relationship between the stability of the economic system and the success of economic agents in managing their household economies in a world of uncertainty. We also said that these contributions pointed out the relationship between uncertainty management and macroeconomic stability, and that an important part of what keeps uncertainty management tied to macroeconomic stability is the mode of pricing. We developed a methodology based on the premises that Keynes et consorter provided, a methodology where epistemological and ontological layers were inseparable and no phenomena were allowed to exist independently of our material world.
