For grins, I googled the book, and it's possible to read it online for free. It might not be possible to understand the book, but it's there to be read.

It's not light reading. In fact it borders on incomprehensible for this retired engineer. Maybe I better take more than the one economics course that Cuda and Joe have me signed up for. I read the entire preface and a bit of the conclusions. Marx is mentioned, but so are classical economics and Keynesian economics. So which is Mr Harris?

In a quick google search, Mr Harris seems to be most often referred to as a post Keynesian. In the 1970s, when the book was published, there was high inflation and high unemployment. Keynesian solutions seemed lacking. The book seems more like a search for direction about economics than an answer to stagflation. Mr. Harris does not prescribe Marxism in the conclusions.

In the 1980's, Monetarism came into vogue, inflation was tamed, and Keynes seemed outdated. But then we had the 2008/2009 recession. At that time someone quipped "we are all Keynesians now", and that was the case during Covid as well.

For what it's worth, Mr Harris's best work could have been helping the Jamaican government. He won awards for that in his birth country.

Note my use of the apostrophe s. My wife's style book says that is correct, and the Toronto newspaper that I don't normally read uses the apostrophe s. My normal newspaper would use Harris'.
