{"product_id":"book-f24v","title":"Samuelson Friedman","description":"In 1966 two columnists joined \u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e magazine. Their assignment: debate the world of business and economics. Paul Samuelson was a towering figure in Keynesian economics. Milton Friedman championed \"monetarism\" and insisted the Federal Reserve maintain tight control over the amount of money circulating in the economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSamuelson Friedman\u003c\/i\u003e, author and journalist Nicholas Wapshott brings narrative verve and puckish charm to the story of these two giants of modern economics, their braided lives, and colossal intellectual battles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSamuelson, a forbidding technical genius, grew up a child of relative privilege and went on to revolutionize macroeconomics. He wrote the best-selling economics textbook of all time. His friend and adversary for decades, Milton Friedman, studied the Great Depression and with Anna Schwartz wrote the seminal books \u003ci\u003eThe Great Contraction\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Monetary History of the United States\u003c\/i\u003e. Friedman found fortune writing a treatise, \u003ci\u003eCapitalism and Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Wapshott's nimble hands, Samuelson and Friedman's decades-long argument over how—or whether—to manage the economy becomes a window onto one of the longest periods of economic turmoil in the United States.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49364520567088,"sku":"BDf24v","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49364520829232,"sku":"ZEf24v","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49364520894768,"sku":"ZMf24v","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/f24v-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780068797","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-f24v","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
