Why read it?

1 author picked Modern Economics as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is unique in that, in clear language, it explains Keynes’ Theory of Employment, which created the present science of macroeconomics.

It was printed in 1948 and the following years, in English and 37 other languages. It still is, in my view, THE book about macroeconomics that every economist should read and try to understand. Nothing else comes even near it in clarity and exposure of the excellent work by Keynes.

From Edouard's list on understanding US-China trade.
