Motto
Lux in Tenebris Lucet—“The light that shines in the darkness”



"This book is a gem. Bénassy has managed the tour de force of presenting concisely the current debate on monetary policy, and of taking it into the little-explored territory of non-Ricardian models. He writes with his usual crispness and sharpness, and the reader comes out of the book's ten chapters wanting to learn more."
