'This splendid book, written by three experts in the field, demonstrates the oscillation of macro policies between state intervention and free market policies. It is a lucid presentation of the evolution of macroeconomic policies in the light of the big macro dynamic challenges such as the high unemployment rates in the great depression, the stagflation period of the 1970s, the great moderation, and the great recession triggered by the financial market meltdown. A fascinating book, highly recommended for higher level undergrad and grad classes, and researchers, and practitioners in the field.' Willi Semmler, Arnhold Professor of International Cooperation and Development, New School for Social Research, New York
