Trade Review‘What a brilliant idea! To provide readers with both information on the Nobel Laureates in Economics and, to the degree possible, the original papers for which they were honored. The names of the “contributing” Laureates speak for themselves. Howard Vane and Chris Mulhearn, the editors, and Edward Elgar, the publisher, are to be congratulated for putting the idea into effect.’Table of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements General Introduction PART I MILTON FRIEDMAN Introduction to Part I Howard R.
