Alfred S. Eichner (March 23, 1937February 10, 1988) was an American post-Keynesian economist who challenged the neoclassical price mechanism and asserted that prices are not set through supply and demand but rather through mark-up pricing. Eichner is one of the founders of the post-Keynesian school of economics and was a professor at Rutgers University at the time of his death. Eichner's writings and advocacy of thought, differed with the theories of John Maynard Keynes, who was an advocate of government intervention in the free market and proponent of public spending to increase employment. Eichner argued that investment was the key to economic expansion. He was considered an advocate of the concept that government incomes policy should prevent inflationary wage and price settlements in connection to the customary fiscal and monetary means of regulating the economy. He is noted for his book ''The Megacorp and Oligopoly'' (1976),〔http://books.google.com/books?id=SYRQPgAACAAJ&dq=megacorp+and+oligopoly&hl=en&sa=X&ei=CRLmU_jZL-XisASNtIKADg&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAA〕 ''Toward a new economics: essays in post-Keynesian and institutionalist theory'' (1985).〔http://books.google.com/books?id=SF66z00U1hkC&dq=Alfred+Eichner&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=MUUDLoxuhG&sig=7s65vY9xjNeV7lABZjpcdfHk7JE&hl=en&ei=C7eVSs2nGI7UMoOzjOEK&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6#v=onepage&q=&f=false Retrieved Aug-26-09〕 His ''Macrodynamics of Advanced Market Economies'' (1987) contains chapters on dynamics and growth, investment, finance and income distribution.〔http://www.jstor.org/pss/4226290 Retrieved Aug-26-09〕 ==Life and work== Eichner was born in Washington, D.C., in the United States.
