Context: All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was.

a Book I disdain to defend, and wish, from my Soul, buried and forgot.”

John Cleland (1709–1789) British writer

Letter from John Cleland to Lovel Stanhope, Law Clerk in the Secretary of State’s Office, 13 November, 1749.

“Keeping a book on macroeconomics up to date is a challenging and neverending task. The field is continually evolving, as new events and research lead to doubts about old views and the emergence of new ideas, models, and tests. The result is that each edition of this book is very different from the one before. This is truer of this revision than any previous one.”

David Romer (1958) American economist
