Negative Positive
Title: A waste of time and of money
Review: This book is indeed a collection of "mental gymnastics of a particularly depraved sort" (see the preface of the book), and one ought to wonder how can economists even concieve calling macroeconomics what is written in this textbook- a set of models based on dynamic equations and systems, calculus of variations, and optimal control theory. What does this have to do with reality? Nothing. It does not at all further one's knowledge of economics, it only forces you to perform the same(depraved)mental gymnastics the authors did.
Is the review positive or negative?
