It is actually possible to remove mistakes from one's past, purging them from the record forever. At least, the author had such an opportunity while reviewing material he had written during the 1970's, subsequently included in this book. Resisting the recurring temptation to "improve" upon pieces composed decades earlier, he opted instead to submit them as originally written in order to preserve the integrity of a much earlier creative stage in his life. For clarity and perspective, each composition is accompanied by either explanatory or elaborative comments. It is quite probable that you have encountered individuals similar to some of those described here. Possibly, you will have pondered some of the same thoughts, shared some of the same experiences, and pursued some of the same subjects as those related in this little volume. If not, perhaps you will enjoy looking back over the author's shoulder at some unique personalities, observations, places, and perspectives.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER. The definitive insider's account of American policy making in Vietnam. "Can anyone remember a public official with the courage to confess error and explain where he and his country went wrong? This is what Robert McNamara does in this brave, honest, honorable, and altogether compelling book."—Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Written twenty years after the end of the Vietnam War, former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's controversial memoir answers the lingering questions that surround this disastrous episode in American history. With unprecedented candor and drawing on a wealth of newly declassified documents, McNamara reveals the fatal misassumptions behind our involvement in Vietnam. Keenly observed and dramatically written, In Retrospect possesses the urgency and poignancy that mark the very best histories—and the unsparing candor that is the trademark of the greatest personal memoirs. Includes a preface written by McNamara for the paperback edition.

An objective and perceptive account of the literature of monetary theory, this volume, by a central banker who has studied monetary theory over the last quarter of a century, clearly shows how its inherent complexity is much enriched by the study of its history. In three parts Filippo Cesarano: focuses on the innovative ideas of distinguished economists who anticipated modern theories, elaborating on them along lines that suggest original research programmes examines the impact of expectations on the effectiveness of monetary policy, illustrating how different assumptions within the classical paradigm lead to diverse hypotheses and policy design investigates the role of monetary theory in shaping monetary institutions. Deserving of a wide readership among both academic economists and monetary policy practitioners, this collection of essays is key reading for students and researchers engaged with monetary theory and the history of economics and policy makers seeking to weigh up the assumptions underlying different theories in order to select the models best suited to the problems they face.
