| Neo-neoclassicals and Neo-Keynesians: Geographically the borderlines get
crossed; amongst the most prominent neo-neoclassicals are not only Samuelson and Solow of M.I.T. but also Meade of Cambridge, England.
The most prominent neo-Keynesians include Joan Robinson, Kaldor and Pasinetti, all of Cambridge, England. The writings of another economist of Cambridge, England, Piero Sraffa, are also quite vital to the debates and issues though, in a sense, he has stood aloof from the recent exchanges._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Geoffrey C. Harcourt on Neo-Keynesianism - Dictionary of Arguments
Harcourt I 2 Neo-Keynesianism/Harcourt: the neo-Keynesians, see capitalist institutions - private property, an entrepreneurial class, a wage-earning class - as giving rise to conflicts between the classes. It is argued that the distribution between the classes of the net product (which is itself viewed as the surplus of commodities over those used up in its production) cannot be understood independently of the institutional nature of capitalism. Neo-Neo-classicals: The neo-neoclassicals, by contrast, regard the marginal principle as of overwhelming importance for the theory of value and distribution. They thus emphasize the role of the possibilities of technical substitution, both of 'factors' and of commodities, one for another. The principle of scarcity and the relevance of relative 'factor' supplies for 'factor' prices and 'factor' shares are the natural corollaries of their approach, as is the neglect of the institutional and sociological characteristics of societies._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
