Publisher's Synopsis
'. . . the volume constitutes an important collection, which portrays the evolution of the Phillips Curve and the potency of policy debates in a single canvas in an elegant and comprehensive manner. The gaps that seem to have remained may be remedied by the editors in the form of a companion volume discussing open economies and global interdependence. The production quality and editing of the book are also excellent. . .'

This authoritative three-volume collection provides a comprehensive anthology of many of the most important and influential articles written since the publication of Phillips' 1958 study - the most-cited macroeconomic paper published in the 20th century. Along with an original introduction by the editors, the papers evaluate the original contribution and place it in its historical context. The works also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the New Classical critique and the expectations augmented Phillips Curve that resulted from it, and critique the part played by the 'New Keynesian Phillips Curve' in the New neo-Classical Synthesis that has emerged in macroeconomics. This indispensable volume will be of immense value to students, scholars and practitioners interested in the field of economics, and the Phillips Curve in particular.
