To celebrate the forthcoming book, "A brief history of Economic Thought: From the Mercantilists to the Post-Keynesians", edited by Louis-Philippe Rochon and Hassan Bougrine (Edward Elgar), Louis-Philippe Rochon sat down with celebrated author and scholar Sergio Rossi to discuss his contribution "Milton Friedman and the Monetarist School".

Comment from our editors:

As one of the founders of the Chicago School of Economics and monetarist thinking, Milton Friedman has been one of the most influential economists of the twentieth century. The "Chicago Boy" developed a model where inflation is "always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon", which called for a rule-bound monetary policy to focus exclusively on inflation, if necessary to the detriment of employment. In this video, the economist Sergio Rossi describes how Friedman contested the legacy of Keynes and provides a Post-Keynesian critique of the implementation of the monetarist doctrine. The last question (minute 17:30) asked by Louis-Philippe Rochon relates to the legacy of Friedman himself today, to which Rossi answers by describing the two areas of the academic world and economic policy.

In spite of the manifold critique about the state of economics in the aftermath of the financial crisis, an even increasing presence of economists and economic experts can be observed in the public sphere during the last years. On the one hand this reflects the still dominant position of economics in the social sciences as well as the sometimes ignorant attitude of economists towards findings of other social sciences. On the other hand this paper shows that the public debate on politico-economic issues among economists is dominated by a specific subgroup of economists, tightly connected to an institutional network of “German neoliberalism”. This group of “public economists” (i) is dominant in public debates even after the financial crisis, (ii) reproduces the formative German economic imaginary of the Social Market Economy in a German neoliberal interpretation and (iii) has a good access to German economic policymaking, rooted in a long history of economic policy advice. 2016 Level: adelantado Still the queens of social sciences?
