This workshop is part of the INET project 'Income Distribution, Asset Prices, and Aggregate Demand Formation, 1850-2010: A Post-Keynesian Approach to Historical Macroeconomic Data' and is organised by the Political Economy Research Group and CResCID. The project utilizes long-run macroeconomic and financial data (100+ years) to explore the interactions of inequality, distribution between capital and labour, growth regimes, asset prices, and debt.

The aim is to create an opportunity for thorough discussion on the possibilities of historical data and historical perspectives in macroeconomic analyses of the nexus of inequality, economic growth and the financial sector. This is a growing and promising field and we believe that to gather a small group of researchers active on those themes, will facilitate advances in the field, cross-fertilization of research projects, and branch new research ideas.
