A History of Macroeconomics from Keynes to Lucas and Beyond

'Michel De Vroey does not simply record what he finds. He has a vision of the kind of macroeconomics he would like to see, perhaps one he developed gradually over the years he has worked on this book. What makes this book enjoyable is that he has high hopes for economics, he flatters us that we are important, and he praises the progress we have achieved. In the end he has the integrity not to hide his disappointments, his conviction that while there is no turning back, there is still a long way to go.' Robert E. Lucas, Jr, John Dewey Distinguished Service Professor in Economics, University of Chicago
