ABSTRACT
It is an interesting feature of post-Keynesian thought that despite its intellectual rotation around a very specific axis, its evolution (and influence) is, to a large extent, due to economists who not only originate from outside Cambridgewhich is inevitable-but outside the British Isles-which is rather more intriguing. It has been one of the great contributions of Geoff Harcourt’s work to sketch and elucidate those many international connections. However, the study of this intellectual diaspora deserves more attention than it has so far received. This paper does not attempt a fully fledged socio-intellectual history, rather it suggests why post-Keynesian internationalism might be traced back to Keynes’ own vision of modern capitalist progress.
