Abstract

I first met Jan Kregel in the early 1980s at the annual summer Trieste International School that he had organized along with Pierangelo Garegnani and Sergio Parrinello on various topics of Post-Keynesian Economics. I had read his work, which was included in most PhD syllabi classes at The New School. My next encounter with Kregel was through Hyman P. Minsky at the Levy Economics Institute in New York when he became a frequent speaker, panelist and discussant at conferences, workshops and other institute events. He would regularly contribute his writings to the institute’s publications; the first one was on ‘Globalization, Capital Flows and International Regulation.’
