A Study of the Theoretical Implications of Endogenous Money
'This volume may be described as a rare book. Treatises on monetary theory by Australian authors are rare. Almost non-existent, in fact. The tiny and invisible fraternity of monetary adepts among The Economic Record's readership should welcome the appearance of these 383 learned pages on the intricacies of their pursuit.' -- William Coleman, The Economic Record 'This book represents a very considerable achievement. It is clearly written, displays very substantial scholarship, and makes a strong case for the Kaldor-Moore approach, suitably modified, as the analytical core of a genuinely non-neoclassical Keynesian macroeconomics. It is strongly recommended to anyone with an interest in monetary theory and monetary policy, today and in the history of economic thought.' -- John King, History of Economics Review
