Hardcover. Condition: Good. 276 pages. Ex-library - very tidy.The Phillips Curve is world famous amongst economists. The man who invented i t was an inventor, an engineer, a genius, who led an exciting life and contribut ed to economics in many different ways.

Always inn ovative, he took another heading in his later years, working out how to stabilis e the Chinese economy which was being wracked by the Cultural Revolution. Bill P.…
