This is not an ordinary edited volume. Every paper seems to have
been specially written for it and fits the title. Each views an
aspect of the interwar era in light of theoretical and policy
issues related to our own post-2008 depression, and draws explicit
lessons... the volume includes many of the best economic historians
working on the interwar era, scholars worth reading... all of the
papers are admirably up to date on the current macroeconomics
literature, including recent attempts to accounts for events of the
1930s in terms of real business cycle and New Keynesian models.
Monetary policy at the zero bound, hysteresis in the natural rate
of unemployment, recovery from a financial crisis and regulatory
reforms, the euro and the gold standard? These and many other
topics are well-covered.
