The breadth of coverage is also very impressive. In particular, i thought Hoover's treatment ... Read moreof my work is fair and accurate, even when it hurt. I will be a better writer and scholar in the future with the prospect of this kind of criticism in mind." Robert E. Lucas, Jr, Professor of Economics, University of Chicago "This book represents an excellent account of a most important development in modern macroeconomics. It is a splendid achievement, well argued, well written, rigorous, and yet easily accessible." M. J.
