Macro Musings
By David Guy Atkin
As somewhat of a social insomniac, I have an exorbitant amount of time laying in bed doddling. While playing games with myself is somewhat amusing, I have found the most amazing solution. THIS BOOK! A stimulating read...perfect for rest, relaxation, and casually flipping thru during spare time...especially, the rigorous development of the dynamics of the Uzawa-Lucas model...the illustrations are captivating and encapsulate all I love about Economics and New Jersey.

Economic Growth is just Super!
Prior to having used this book, Macroeconomics was the bain of my life. A short sweater wearing Frenchman assigned it as the set text of his course and everything changed. The models are clear, lucid and stimulating. The exposition is first rate and the mix of theory with empirics is frankly breathtaking.I used to turn up 20 minutes late to macro lectures out of fear, now I wake up early asking myself "How can I make Peru grow faster". Is Economic Growth dull? Now, not so much as not at all...

Excelent Book
This is an excelent book that covers very well "the old and new" Growth Theory". However it is a very hard book and be prepared to use everything you know about math and economics. Perfect book for graduation courses in growth theory. My only suggestion is to include a chapter about the efect of institutions on the economies. Similar Products
