on Post Keynesian Economics |

| Abstract: | We build a three-dimensional Kaleckian dynamic model, incorporating government-provided social common capital’s long-run stock effects and subsequent debt accumulation. We investigate how fiscal stance changes and demand and distributional impacts in a wage-led growth regime affect social common capital accumulation, economic growth, and stability. The Keynesian stability and Domar conditions are necessary for a long-run economically meaningful steady state, while a proactive fiscal stance promotes higher economic growth and a more sustainable economy. A higher wage share stabilises the economy by increasing the likelihood of satisfying the Domar condition, realising an equitable workers/capitalists income distribution, and establishing a resilient economy. |

| Abstract: | Paul Krugman once said that two of the greatest analytical challenges of economic theory today (comparable to those faced by Keynes in the 1930s) were the huge deterioration of market inequality in high-income countries, and Latin America’s underperformance. The main aim of this paper is to tackle simultaneously both challenges, while adding a third: the post-1980 underperformance of advanced Western economies. This article tries to answer these three puzzles returning to Ricardo. For him, the original sin of capitalism is that it will always have rentiers lurking around in search of “easy†rents; and that under certain conditions, in a laissez-faire economy they can get the upper hand. If so, they were bound to transform capitalism into a self-destructing rentier paradise. In other words, what has happened in the West (North and South of the Equator) since their 1980s neo-liberal reforms are basically facets of one and the same phenomenon: the inequality augmenting and productivity-growth retarding impact of a specific type of rentier-based accumulation. And the key link between the two is the negative impact that increased inequality has had on investment. If so, Krugman’s puzzle would not really be much of a mystery after all! And this process of “rentierisation†―of which financialisation is just one (although leading) aspect― is now proving to be as toxic for inequality and productivity growth as for our democracy. |

| Abstract: | The COVID-19 pandemic has meant a prolonged economic and social crisis in Latin America and the Caribbean, with profound consequences on the population’s well-being and a silent and devastating impact on education. The abrupt transition to distance learning, with one of the most extended school closures in the world, has had an unequal impact and highlighted pre-existing gaps in the region. The crisis has resulted in paradigm shifts, innovations and lessons learned concerning adapting to remote education, which impede education systems from returning to how things were and force them to restructure to be more resilient and inclusive. |
