Extract

In a recent book, Roger Farmer offers a quick but exhaustive rundown of the research agenda that he drove forward over the last 10 years with the aim to offer a novel microfoundation for Keynesian macroeconomics and—as a by-product—providing practical remedies to prevent financial crises, reduce unemployment, and ensure prosperity for all. In that work, the Farmerian arguments question the conventional visions underlying the Neo-Classical and New Keynesian paradigms and the addressed topics cover relevant theoretical, empirical, and policy issues that have been widely debated after the Great Recession of 2007–2009.
