Wynne Godley
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-12288-1 (ISBN)
This first full-length biography traces Wynne Godley's long career from professional musician to public servant, policymaker, tormentor of conventional macroeconomics and creator of a workable alternative - all after escaping a childhood of decaying mansions and draconian schools, and rescuing his private world from the legacy of two Freuds. Drawing on Godley's published and unpublished work and extensive interviews with those who knew him, the author explores Godley's improbable life and explains the lasting significance of his work.
Alan Shipman studied economics at Cambridge in Wynne Godley's shadow, and realised how the subject had needed his insights on returning to it after the Global Financial Crisis. Now a lecturer in economics at the Open University, his previous books include Capitalism Without Capital: Accounting for the Crash (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015).
