Recenzje

'This book is sprinkled with excellent answers to many of the economic and political problems that are often still faced today. On reading this book, I wondered where is the John Kenneth Galbraith equivalent today who will provide presidents and legislators, as well as our economic colleagues, with the advice necessary to make the American economy deliver the prosperity to all its residents that it is capable of providing.' Review of Keynesian Economics
