Recenzje

'… a welcomed, invigorating study of macroeconomics principles … Thomas's book inspires economics educators to pursue a reflective and pluralist approach to macroeconomics, founded in the principles of open-mindedness, realism and social purpose, without losing on the technical rigour or policy applicability.' Danielle Guizzo, Review of Political Economy
