This book examines the various economic problems of the past 70 years and critically evaluates what has been done to solve them. Claiming that previous macroeconomic policies have not been successful largely because of political problems, the book presents a cogent argument for the need for new institutions to conduct rational policies in the future.

Impressive historical scholarship brings alive the views and personalities of the times and provides immense detail concerning economic settings and problems of each period.... Upper-division and graduate collections.”–Choice
