A Weekend at Bretton Woods

John Cassidy is always worth reading. His recent book ““How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities” is one of the very best around for understanding important contributions to the development of economic thought and policy during the last fifty years. (I reviewed it here) In this article from the New Yorker, John Cassidy reports from the annual conference of the Institute for New Economic Thinking held at the Bretton Woods Hotel in New Hampshire, USA. It is a review of some of the keynote presentations and discussions and is recommended reading for A2 economics students wanting more background on some of the key policy dilemmas existing at present.
