Macroeconomic Theory and Macroeconomic Pedagogy, by Guiseppe Fontana and Mark Setterfield

Macroeconomic Theory and Macroeconomic Pedagogy, by Guiseppe Fontana and Mark Setterfield Book Reviews resource in Economic Development, Public Policy, or Survey of Economics courses. Instructors can then assign research projects to students, who might use the extensive citations and web references to probe deeper and find out what is occurring in California with water desalination [p. 56], “brownfield” development in Illinois [p. 54] or “smart” growth in Florida [p. 107]. Students will be curious to know which 143 services are taxed in Delaware, which one is taxed in Alaska [p. 137], and why. The book is full of fascinating and important facts concerning economic development. It is unfortunate that the reader has to look beyond the book to find answers to many of the questions posed by the authors. The goal of the book seems to be a defense of the argument for sustainable development. Aside from the excellent exposition of comprehensive indicators in Chapter 8 [pp. 144–164], there is no in-depth analysis of any sustainability or quality of life project. I found myself seeking information on how to obtain funds for local development, on how to build a strong partnership between the private sector, NGOs, and the local community, and on how the role of the informal sector changes http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Eastern Economic Journal Springer Journals

Abstract

Book Reviews resource in Economic Development, Public Policy, or Survey of Economics courses. Instructors can then assign research projects to students, who might use the extensive citations and web references to probe deeper and find out what is occurring in California with water desalination [p. 56], “brownfield” development in Illinois [p. 54] or “smart” growth in Florida [p. 107]. Students will be curious to know which 143 services are taxed in Delaware, which one is taxed in Alaska [p. 137], and why. The book is full of fascinating and important facts concerning economic development. It is unfortunate that the reader has to look beyond the book to find answers to many of the questions posed by the authors. The goal of the book seems to be a defense of the argument for sustainable development. Aside from the excellent exposition of comprehensive indicators in Chapter 8 [pp. 144–164], there is no in-depth analysis of any sustainability or quality of life project. I found myself seeking information on how to obtain funds for local development, on how to build a strong partnership between the private sector, NGOs, and the local community, and on how the role of the informal sector changes
