How the Economy Works by Roger E A Farmer
How the Economy Works is a vital, elucidating look at macroeconomics--how it developed and why it matters today. By explaining, comparing, and finally combining classical and Keynesian economics, Roger Farmer shows how to design ways of correcting the excesses of free market economies that preserve the best features of capitalism, without stifling entrepreneurship.
