Review

'There is no similarly detailed and complete study of any major figure in the new classical economics. Professor Sent clearly knows a great deal about her subject and is able to convey a great deal to the reader.' Kevin D. Hoover, University of California, Davis

'Sent's book is like no other work in the history of economic thought. The subject matter is contemporary macroeconomic theory, and the dominant themes are symmetry, reflexivity, and the interest-ladenness of scientific theory. It is a fascinating story: provocative as well as compelling.' D. Wade Hands, University of Paget Sound

'[A] magnificent assessment of Sargent's theoretical achievements.' M.M.G. Fase, De Economist

Book Description
