Keynesian economists have followed Joan
Robinson's criticism of general equilibrium
theory as abolishing history by allowing
all contracts to be executed today for
all future contingencies. This was the
justification for the support of financial
innovation to provide for the completeness
of futures markets. The recent crisis
has shown that force of history. Instead,
many evolutionary and Keynesian economists
have suggested the approach of cumulative
causation as an approach that includes
history and eschews equilibrium. This
approach may provide a way to take history
seriously in economic analysis.
