This review is from: Macroeconomics (Paperback)

This book teaches us real meanings of Keynesian Economics. You will get a rough skech on macroeconomic theories and understand that fashionable streams are insufficient to grasp the real economy.

This review is from: Macroeconomics (Paperback)

I find the author does not present balance on the subject of macro economics. He should look at contemporary history and include some Hayek in his prose. I suspect years of being a tenured professor contributes to this unrealistic view though. Maybe his venture into the real world of capitalism with the publication of this book will be a good lesson. I fear for his compulsory consumers (his students).

For a preview of how his classes must be like, watch "Free to Choose" by Milton Friedman, Part 1, 2nd release. His arrogance and bullying demeanor were interesting to see.
