Description
A Financial Times Best Economics Book of 2021. In 1966, two influential columnists joined Newsweek magazine to debate the world of business and economics. Their assignment was to present opposing views on how the economy should be managed. Paul Samuelson, a leading figure in Keynesian economics, championed government intervention in the economy, while Milton Friedman advocated for limited government control over monetary policy. Their intellectual battles spanned decades, with both men leaving an indelible mark on modern economics. Nicholas Wapshott brings narrative verve to this story of two giants of economic thought, exploring the complexities of their debates and the enduring impact they have had on our understanding of the economy.
