"An excellent volume, which deserves to be read by anyone seriously
interested in explaining the operation of the macroeconomy." Times
Higher Education Supplement
"I enjoyed Kevin Hoover's book very much. It is critical writing of
the very highest order - a rarity in macroeconomics. The breadth of
coverage is also very impressive. In particular, i thought Hoover's
treatment of my work is fair and accurate, even when it hurt. I
will be a better writer and scholar in the future with the prospect
of this kind of criticism in mind." Robert E. Lucas, Jr, Professor
of Economics, University of Chicago
"This book represents an excellent account of a most important
development in modern macroeconomics. It is a splendid achievement,
well argued, well written, rigorous, and yet easily accessible." M.
J. Artis, Professor of Economics, University of Manchester
"The book is very well written, it covers the literature
comprehensively and expresses complex arguments with authority and
at a brisk pace." Nigel W. Duck, Department of Economics,
University of Bristol
