In this keynote lecture during the conference „The Spectre of Stagnation? Europe in the World Economy“, Till van Treek presents research on how changes in income distribution lead to macroeconomic instability and crisis, focusing on currents accounts. Treek presents the relative income hypothesis in contrast to other mainstream and Post-Keynesian explanations. The relative income hypothesis proposes that aggregate demand increases and savings decrease with rising personal income inequality due to upward looking status comparison – but effects depend on the quantile where income inequality increases. Treek points to the importance of accounting for both income and functional income distribution and underlines his arguments with data comparing different pattern in Germany and the U.S.
John K. Galbraith tells the economic history of a couple of economies (mostly UK, US and to a lesser extent Germany) from the end of the first world war until the Bretton Woods conference.

Galbraith complements the historical remarks by the biographical experiences he made in economic management (and in engaging with Keynes) serving as deputy head of the Office for Price administration during the second world war.

Mit dem Verweis auf einen umfangreichen Kanon wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Wissens wird seitens etablierter Fachvertreterinnen und -vertreter der (Standard-)Ökonomik häufig argumentiert, dass dieser keinen Raum lasse, um Perspektiven der Pluralen Ökonomik in entsprechende Lehrveranstaltungen zu integrieren. Dagegen lässt sich anführen, dass z. B. Einführungslehrbücher der VWL mehrere 100 Seiten umfassen und der dort präsentierte Inhalt daher bereits aus praktischen Gründen für die Lehre reduziert werden muss.
