Anatole Kaletsky discusses INET research in an interview with Project Syndicate
鈥淚NET has supported a lot of brilliant academic work in areas such as Imperfect Knowledge Economics, financial regulation, human development, and environmental economics. Such research has helped to discredit the ideas 鈥� such as 鈥減erfect鈥� competition, 鈥渆fficient鈥� markets, and 鈥渞ational鈥� expectations 鈥� that formed the ideological foundations for laissez-faire microeconomics, monetarist central banking, and irrational pre-Keynesian fiscal policy, especially in Europe. As such, it has done as much as INET鈥檚 other work 鈥� including policy research, academic community-building, and deepening collaboration with the International Monetary Fund, the OECD, and other official institutions 鈥� to end market fundamentalism鈥檚 intellectual monopoly.鈥� — Anatole Kaletsky, Project Syndicate
