The revival of economic nationalism poses a challenge to neoclassical orthodoxy, which claims that liberalized international trade is (subject to a few recognized exceptions) inherently cooperative and mutually beneficial. Post-Keynesian open economy models demonstrate that international trade relations can be conflictive under certain conditions.

Since income distribution is a central theme in Rothschild’s research, this paper examines his contributions to post‐Keynesian distribution theory. Following a brief overview of his life, academic formation, and the historical context that shaped his thinking, the paper explores his theoretical innovations, emphasizing his rejection of mono‐causal explanations in favor of an approach that integrates economic, political, and social dynamics.
