Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of essays by a distinguished group of internationally renowned economists - includinging no less than four Nobel Larteates - marks the 75th birthday of Richard Goodwin, who created and nurtured the nonlinear approach to the modelling of macrodynamic fluctuations. Various aspects of nonlinear macrodynamics are developed; and the analytical dynamics of Galbraith's "Restrospective" and the editor's biographical survey and introduction unify the different contributions around characteristic Goodwinian themes.
