Sherryl Davis Kasper, Professor of Economics and Chair, Division of Social Sciences, Maryville College, US
'This is an important contribution to the history of thought in
macroeconomics. The chapters on Lucas and Simon are lucid and
sketch the development of laissez-faire policy simultaneously.'
*A.V. Katos, Economic Issues*
'This is a nicely written, succinct overview of libertarian views
on American macroeconomic theory by institutional economist Sherryl
Davis Kasper.'
*Rick Tilman, Journal of Economic Issues*
'I find The Revival of Laissez-Faire informative, especially as a
survey of the ideas of the six economists, each of whom was no
doubt at the front in the intellectual battle over laissez-faire.
The book is a good source on an important slice of twentieth
century economics for undergraduate history of economics
course.'
*J. Daniel Hammond, Journal of the History of Economic Thought*
