Opis

Published in 1998. In spite of spectacular improvements in market flexibility, the characteristics of the past twenty years are slow growth and high unemployment. Economics Through the Looking-Glass exposes the theoretical fallacy which underlies current economic policy.

Recenzje

’...masterful and convincing...compulsory reading for all younger economists, most of whom have never had the benefit of studying the history of their discipline or a basis for questioning economic orthodoxy...a challenging and in many ways important book.’ The Business Economist
