Critic Reviews

“"When the Walrasian auctioneer is missing in action, and some suspect the invisible hand is invisible because it does not exist, we still have to manage the economy for people. ”

The scholars in this volume take on this challenge and provide serious diagnosis and prescription for our current predicament. A perspective well worth reading for anyone who does not want to be mired in a slump for years to come! Meaning all of us." --Robert Johnson, President, Institute for New Economic Thinking
