ht also be surprised at my choice of benchmarks in verse and economics. Masefield and Mill? A consensus might have picked T. S. Elliot, say, and Lord Keynes. Masefield and Mill are likelier to be remembered as old-fashioned fuddy-duddies already outmoded when they wrote. But that’s me. I am Don Quixote. N

Since at least the time of Keynes, investment and saving have been at the heart of macroeconomic modelling, and this is true of neo-classical and other heterodox modelling, not just

ma and others. Throughout this paper comparisons are made to the work of Ian Wright who describes simulated economic models in two notable papers [Wright 2005, 2009]. Wright's models are significantly different to my own, most notably in not involving a financial sector. Also, unlike the present pape

loyment is higher in model 46 than model 4A. Also the ratio of returns to labour to returns to capital is significantly higher in model 4A. This is Keynes writ large. Unlike static equilibria, dynamic equilibria can have multiple points of stability. The point of equilibrium that is reached depends on

n the company model to prevent the introduction of severe cycling in the model output. Directly comparing my own macroeconomic models with those of Wright is not straightforward. My own models include a financial sector which is clearly more realistic, as Wright acknowledges in the Social Architecture

Wright's models are superior in this regard, and may shed light on this dynamic. Equation (4.7e), and a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, especially an offs
