那的工作提供了一个重要的challenge to economics as currently practised. This volume brings together a collection of essays on issues in macroeconomics and monetary theory from an unorthodox but rigorous position.

‘There are two themes that appeared to me to unite all these contributions. The first was a deep respect for the work of earlier economists, and it is fascinating to see the influence of Marx, Keynes and others played out in his research. The second is a belief in the importance of macroeconomic research for understanding current issues and policy dilemmas, which helps account for the fact that understanding inflation plays a key role in a number of the papers. It is perhaps the unusual combination of these two themes which help make this collection both intriguing and a joy to read.’
