ABSTRACT
Fred Lee’s mentor, Alfred Eichner, sent him to do graduate work at Rutgers University, hoping that he could benefit from the Post Keynesian faculty that was growing up around Paul Davidson including Jan Kregel, Nina Shapiro, Lourdes Beneria, and Bruce Steinberg at Rutgers’ Livingston College—and which subsequently came to include Eichner himself. His early interest in Post Keynesian price theory was evidenced in his objection to the dominance of monetary and macro phenomenon in Post Keynesian growth and distribution theory.
