I studied Marxian Economics in graduate school at Rutgers circa 1977–1979. Some of us New Leftists from the sixties were certain socialism would arrive during our lifetimes. When it did there would be a need for people who knew how to implement national economic planning. But in 1980 Ronald Reagan was elected president and most of us socialist economic planners recognized the impetus to find other career paths.

Anyway: The majority of my fellow graduate students during the late seventies had a less radical orientation than I did. They called themselves “Post-Keynesians.” In fact, our graduate department at Rutgers, under the leadership of Paul Davidson, produced the Journal of Post-Keynesian Economics.

The Post-Keynesians were semi-leftist. The minority of us who were hard leftist happened to be fans of a theorist named Donald J. Harris, a quasi-Marxist . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_J._Harris
