Produktbeschreibung

In The Development of Swedish and Keynesian Macroeconomic Theory and Its General Impact on Economic Policy, Erik F. Lundberg, who was the last active member of the Stockholm School of Economics, gives a full account of the development of the theories of that famous school, particularly in comparison with the keynesian theories. In addition, he describes the economic policy implications of the 'Swedish Model' and appraises, in many instances critically, the policy experiments which were undertaken in Sweden in the last decades. A Discussion with Professor Lundberg's Comments concludes the volume, which also includes a biography and a bibliography of Erik Lundberg.
