2024 Best Summer Books - The Financial Times

'Willem Buiter is the acknowledged master of the public sector accounts. In this timely little volume, he exposes the intimate connection between the central bank and the fiscal authorities, delivering a series of provocative insights regarding the scope for monetary finance, the efficacy of ‘helicopter money’, the validity of the ‘fiscal theory of the price level’, the elimination of the interest-rate lower bound, and the flaws in the architecture of the European Monetary Union.'

- Charles Bean, London School of Economics
