Debates in Macroeconomics from the Great Depression to the Long Recession Cycles, Crises and Policy Responses

“The driving question of Debates in Macroeconomics and Arnon’s overall conclusions are both compelling. ... Arnon is extremely well-read in the subject and provides a wealth of insights and useful references, the book is a perfect starting point to discover the field.” (Goulven Rubin, The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, March 2, 2025)

“This book can serve as a ground-clearing exercise from which a new direction in macroeconomics can spring? Nothing would please the author more. This book is explicitly a work of the history of economic thought, engaging with the literature on the history of thought as much as with the primary texts that mark milestones in that history. As a sometime historian of economic thought myself, there is much here that is familiar but also much that is new.” (Perry Mehrling, Journal of the History of Economic Thought, Vol. 55 (2), 2023)

“This new opus by Arie Arnon was very much awaited. Given the strong emphasis laid on the monetary thinking of the different authors considered, and particularly their views regarding the proper conduct of monetary policy, this new work will be especially appreciated by those … interested in monetary issues within the subfield of macroeconomics. … Arnon’s book is a great achievement … and should find its place on the shelf of anyone interestedin the history of monetary macroeconomics.” (Pierrick Clerc, History of Political Economy, Vol. 55 (2), April, 2023)
