Subject Files, 1959-1983

Scope and content:

This material grows out of research undertaken by Weintraub primarily from when he was attempting to influence government policy by promoting the merits of a taxed-based incomes policy (TIP). Of particular interest is the early work on the publication of Capitalism's Inflation and Unemployment Crisis and work that he did for the Canadian Institute for Economic Policy. There is material on the founding of the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics, such as correspondence with coeditor Paul Davidson and publisher M. E. Sharpe, Inc. There is some preliminary correspondence having to do with the publication and writing of Keynes and the Monetarists. There are files dealing with Weintraub's extensive national and international lecturing tours, with material from trips to Europe, Asia, and much of the US (including Puerto Rico). Finally, material on the writing of Modern Economic Thought, editorials for the New York Times, and the Puerto Rico Economic Quarterly is included.
