• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1987. This fascinating study provides an understanding of the failings of the post-war era of active macroeconomic policy-making. It then depicts the developments in official thinking and policy with regard to this problem as the confidence in Keynesian principles waxed and waned over the period.
