      abstract = {This book examines the academic life of Alvin Hansen and  his contribution to modern economics. Through tracing the  development of his early work and pre-Keynesian ideas, the  influence of Keynes and the 1937-8 recession on the  direction of his work is explored, particularly in relation  to his theoretical backing of the New Deal and subsequent  American policy. The subsequent chapters focus on his later  work on secular stagnation, savings and investment,  American Keynesianism, managing the post-war mixed economy  and the often overlooked contributions to global questions  and wider aspects of political economy and public policy.  This book aims to highlight the intellectual influence and  academic value of Alvin Hansens work. It will be relevant  to students and researchers interested in economic policy,  political economy, and the history of economic thought.  Robert J. Bigg holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge  in the history of economic thought. His research interests  include the development of monetary and macroeconomic  theory and intellectual biography. Previously published  works include Cambridge and the Monetary Theory of  Production together with entries for The New Palgrave: A  Dictionary of Economics, and The Palgrave Companion to  Oxford Economics.},
