New Book — Alternative Approaches In Macroeconomics: Essays In Honour Of John McCombie

Philip Arestis has edited a series of articles in honour of John McCombie, who recently retired in 2017 from his Chair in the Department of Land Economy in Cambridge University. The Google Books link to the book is here, and the Springer link here.

As expected, there’s a chapter from Anthony Thirlwall on his memories of his collaboration with John McCombie on balance-of-payments constraint on economic growth. Thirwall recalls how McCombie was skeptical of “y =  x/π” but soon became convinced.
