John T. Harvey

John T. Harvey was born in London in 1961. He grew up in the United States and developed an interest in economics as an undergraduate at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. He stayed there for his PhD--primarily because his girlfriend, now wife, still had two years before she finished her degree! At the time, the department was a center for Institutionalist and Post Keynesian economics and served as the home for both the Journal of Economic Issues and the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics. He became very interested in each and, upon taking a job at Texas Christian University in 1987, started researching international economics from those perspectives. To date, he has published extensively in the area, including dozens of articles, two edited volumes, and one monograph wherein he develops a Post Keynesian view of exchange rate determination. Forthcoming is a text that introduces economic schools of thought to students and scholars. John is currently working on a book that explains economics to the layperson.

John lives in Fort Worth, Texas, with his wife Melanie, daughters Alex and Meg, and dog Rommel. He he is an avid online gamer and reader of military history (particularly WWII).
