This Companion provides a timely and engaging treatment of Hyman Minskys approach to economics which is enjoying a renewed appreciation because of its prescient analysis of the slow but sure transformation of the capitalist economy in the post war period.

The book brings together the foremost Minsky scholars to provide a comprehensive overview of his approach with extensions to bring the analysis up to date
