Challenging such established ideas as the inevitability of the
business cycle and the taboo on deficit spending, the group of
economists associated with the Kennedy Council of Economic Advisers
attempted in the 1960s to convert their theories into government
policy. The successes, failures, elations. and frustrations of what
came to be called the New Economics is the subject of James Tobin's
fascinating account, based on the Janeway Lectures given at
Princeton in 1972. In making his assessment of the New Economics,
Professor Tobin draws on his close involvement in policymaking
during the Kennedy years. Originally published in 1974. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
