My new book on business cycles, MMT, and the Job Guarantee
(Mods, thank you for allowing me to post this!)
Hi, all, please consider this exciting book for part of your summer reading (okay, not all that exciting unless you love economics like me)!

Cambridge University Press kindly made the paperback and eBook pretty affordable ($33), plus there’s a 20%-off discount (until 2027) if you add HARVEY25 at checkout.
I hope the volume has a little something for everyone:
• Ch1 through 3: Business cycle and inflation theory;
• Ch4: narrative history of US business cycles (framed in the theory from ch1-3);
• Ch5: MMT and Job-Guarantee heavy policy recommendations, kindly vetted by Pavlina Tcherneva and Randy Wray;
• Appendix: graphs and equations!
If you’d like to know more, the world-famous Cowboy Economist has a video that explains the structure of the volume:

I want to also add that I owe a great debt to those who wrote some very kind endorsements: Randy Wray, Stephanie Kelton, Pavlina Tcherneva, and Jamie Galbraith.
Please let me know if you have questions!

P.S. And don’t forget my previous volume on different contemporary schools of thought in economics:
