James Tobin was America's most distinguished Keynesian economist, whose path-breaking theoretical work has demonstrated that Keynes' original theories can be adapted to deal with modern macroeconomic problems. This volume presents 32 of those papers which, in Professor Tobin's opinion, have made a significant contribution to the developments of Keynesian economics in the 20th century.
