The Challenge Of Change (fifty Year Of Business Economics)

In this fascinating and instructive collection, 13 influential economists including Charles Goodhart, Roger Bootle, Samuel Brittan, and John Kay look at the major economic issues facing the world today. Ranging from monetary policy and world trade to environmental matters, the rise and fall of inflation, and the role of the economist in dealing with competition policy, these up-to-the-minute essays review the major economic developments and ideas of the last 50 years. Looking forward, they then give a range of persuasively argued and sometimes conflicting views on where economics is now, and where it could--and should--be going.
