Origins of Macroeconomics

This volume forms part of a ten volume set on the origins of macroeconomics. The emergence of macroeconomics was probably the single most important development in economics in the twentieth century. The set draws on a broad, international range of sources, and encompasses works by lesser known thinkers who made significant contributions to the field, providing the definitive collection of materials on the origins of the discipline. <p><strong>Volume 4: North American Keynesianism</strong></p><p> 1. <em>Paul A.
