PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
John P. Watkins is Professor of Economics at Westminster College, Salt Lake City, Utah, and adjunct Professor of Economics at the University of Utah. He has taught economics for some 40 years, teaching the history of economic thought, macroeconomic theory, economic justice, and ecological economics. He is past president of the Association for Evolutionary Economics and the Association for Institutional Thought. He is winner of the Bill and Vieve Gore Excellence in Teaching Award, twice recipient of the Manford A. and June Shaw Faculty Publication Award, and voted six times Professor of the Year. His purpose in teaching is to raise the students’ level of confusion, a purpose which he is known to have accomplished with considerable success.
John P. Watkins' new book constructs a coherent historical narrative of the emergence of modern mass consumer capitalism out of late nineteenth-early twentieth century capitalism. It is masterfully written, and hopefully, will be read by many economists and, most importantly, by the next generation. William Waller, Hobart and William Smith College In his new book, John P. Watkins has utilized the insights of two of the greatest analysts of the paradoxical nature of American economic development, Thorstein Veblen and John Maynard Keynes, to interpret the key moments of the last one hundred and fifty years of American capitalism. Thus, this volume will be useful for those teaching or researching U.S. economic history as well as those seeking texts that present an alternative perspective to economic theory. Janet T.
