Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "To John with best wishes, Robert E. Lucas, Jr." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Marianne Perlak. Uncommon signed and inscribed. In this book the Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Lucas collects his writings on economic growth, from his seminal On the Mechanics of Economic Development to his previously unpublished 1997 Kuznets Lectures. "Robert Lucas is the most outstanding economic theorist of the late 20th century.The great merit of Lucas's models is that while they are mathematically rigorous, they are also very simple and transparent.As he takes up complications such as class, he still manages to derive elegant and lucid solutions.Lucas has now given a deeper meaning to new classical economics. This is a superb collection and will guide teaching as well as research for many years to come, as so much of Lucas's work already has done" (Meghnad Desai Times Higher Education Supplement).
