A significant part of economics as we know it today is the outcome
of battles that took place in the post-war years between Keynesians
and monetarists. In the US, the focus of these battles was often
between the neo-Keynesians at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) and the Chicago monetarists. The undisputed leader
of the MIT Keynesians was Paul A. Samuelson, one of the most
influential economists of the 20th century and arguably of all
time. Samuelson's output covered a vast number of subjects within
economics, the quality of theseoften pioneering contributions
unmatched in the modern era. The volume focuses both on how
Samuelson's work has been developed by others and on how that work
fits into subsequent developments in the various fields of
speciality within which Samuelson operated.
