The Macroeconomics Anti-Textbook: A Critical Thinker's Guide

Yes, it's official! Brian MacLean (of Laurentian University) and Tony Myatt (University of New Brunswick) have signed a contract with Zed Books for The Macroeconomics Anti-Textbook: A Critical Thinker's Guide. The manuscript for the book should be finished next summer. It seems very likely that Tony and I will also be revising and updating The Economics Anti-Textbook, which will appear in a new edition.



When he heard the news, Robert Lucas scratched his head and muttered:
"The Macroeconomics Anti-Textbook?! What would that be about?!"

  1. Do we need this book when Robert Lucas has stated "the central problem of depression-prevention has been solved, for all practical purposes, and has in fact been solved for many decades."
    Of corse we do. Now more than ever! Good luck.

  4. It's too early to say yet, I think. A contract has been signed, but work is still in the early stages, I believe. News will be posted on this blog as it progresses. We also hope to bring out a second edition of The Economics Anti-Textbook at the same time.
