Post Keynesyen Ekonominin Metodolojik Temelleri

Ekonomiye yeni bir yaklaşım olarak ortaya çıkan Post Keynesyen görüş, Ortodoks ekonomi düşüncesinin ortaya koyduğu ekonomi politikalarına karşı alternatif bir yaklaşım olarak gelişmektedir. Bununla birlikte, gelişen metodolojik yapısıyla özgün bir pozitif düşünce okulu olarak gelişimini sürdürmeye devam etmektedir. Post Keynesyen ekonomi, ekonomiyi analiz ederken belirsizliğin hâkim olduğu dünyada gerçek ekonomik sorunlarla ilgilenmektedir. Böylece Post Keynesyenler, ekonominin nasıl işlediğini ve nasıl işlemesi gerektiğini açıklamaya çalışmaktadırlar. Post Keynesyenler belirsizliğin hâkim olduğu bu süreçte tarihsel zamanın ve beklentilerin son derece önemli olduğunu ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, ekonomi literatürde tam olarak bilinmeyen Post Keynesyen ekonominin temel önermeleri ve metodolojik yapısı açıklanacaktır. Bunu yaparken de Post Keynesyen ekonominin metodolojik yapısı Neo-klasik ekonominin metodolojik yapısıyla karşılaştırılarak ortaya konulacaktır.

The Methodological Foundations of Post Keynesian Economics

Post Keynesian view, which has emerged as a new approach to the economy, evolves as an alternative approach to the economic policies of Orthodox economic thought. However, with its evolving methodological and comprehensive structure, it continues to develop as an original positive school of thought. Post Keynesian economics deals with real economic problems in the world where uncertainty prevails while analyzing the economy. Thus, Post Keynesians try to explain how the economy works and how it should operate. Post Keynesians express the importance of historical time and expectations in this process in which uncertainty prevails. In this study, the fundamental propositions and methodological structure of Post Keynesian economics, which are not known in the literature, will be explained. In doing so, the methodological structure of Post Keynesian economics will be compared with the methodological structure of the neoclassical economics.
