Forthcoming papers: Price Performance Fiscal Policy - A Real Incomes Approach This paper was first published in 1981 by Hambrook Pubishing Company. It explained the basis for a real incomes approach to economic management through a fiscal policy which was more adaptive to corporate priorities whilst safeguarding real incomes as distributed between profits and the workforce. The workforce being the consumer segment also benefit from a sustained real income level. Expected publication date: mid-October, 2007. Charter House Essays in Political Economy Charter House Essays in Political Economy (CHEPE) were initiated in 1980 with the specific objective of advancing economic theory and practice beyond the constraints imposed by Keynesianism and Monetarism. Some papers were pubished in the late 1970s and early 1980s. These identified important failures in macroeconomic management and in particular theoretical and practical inconsistencies between corporate and public needs and government policies. Proposals were made for a real incomes approach to macroeconomic management. At that time Monetarism was overtaking Keynesianism as the core approach to macroeconomic management and the real incomes approach was not given much attention. However the subsequent 25 years of macroeconomic management have only served to demonstrate that the real incomes approach offers a more practical option to addressing unresolved issues and from a rigorous theoretical standpoint. The CHEPE Project All of the past CHEPE papers are being reviewed so as to re-edit and publsh these in the light of current challenges in macroeconomic management. The CHEPE Project is managed by the Real Incomes Unit at the Systems Engineering Economics Lab.
