Abstract

Krizler iktisadın önemli ilgi alanlarından biridir. İktisadi faaliyetin sekteye uğraması insanların refah kayıplarına sebep olduğundan, iktisadi kriz olgusunun en iyi şekilde anlaşılması, iktisat teorisi ve de politikası için elzem hale gelmiştir. İktisadi analizin kısmen de olsa normatif taraflarının olmasından kaynaklanan kendi içerisindeki bölünmeleri meşhurdur. Bu bölünmelerin karşılığını, iktisat felsefesinin çeşitli alt dallarındaki farklılaşmaya paralel olarak krizleri anlama çabalarında da görmek mümkündür. Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı iktisat okullarının finansal krizlere nasıl baktıklarını incelemek, bu inceleme sonunda, yaşadığımız en son finansal kriz olan Büyük Resesyon’u açıklama konusunda hangi okulun ne kadar katkıda bulunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. İncelememiz bizi kriz konusunda Post - Keynesyen Kurumsalcılığın açıklayıcı gücüne götürmektedir.

Theories of crisis and the great recession: An argument in favor of Post - Keynesian institutionalism

Abstract

Crises are one of the major areas of interests in economics. Since the disruption of economic activity leads to welfare losses for the people, it has become essential for the economic theory and policy to understand them in the best way. The divisions in economic science within themselves, which are partly due to normative aspects present in the profession, are very well known. The equivalence of these divisions can also be seen in efforts to understand crises in parallel stemming from various differences concerning the economic philosophy. The aim of this study is to examine how different economic schools look at financial crises and to reveal their relevance in explaining the most recent crisis, the Great Recession. Our analysis leads us to the explanatory power of Post-Keynesian Institutionalism on the crisis.
