Features: This book is written by a world-class economist, shining with wisdom and provoking deep reflection. Perhaps some readers, like me, may disagree with Barro's analysis of certain issues, but there is no doubt that Barro's work will encourage us to think more deeply about economic problems. Barro has changed the way economists approach all issues—from the long-term impact of government fiscal deficits to the factors that promote economic growth, and more. The book features both light-hearted and insightful life analyses, as well as serious and incisive theoretical discussions on macroeconomics and policy using free-market principles. Behind the brilliance lies the author's profound economic thought, as noted by critics: Robert Barro has changed the way economists think about everything and has profoundly influenced the development of macroeconomic theory since the 1970s. It is his articles that have made publications like The Wall Street Journal and Business Week shine with wisdom.
