Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1957 FRIEDMAN REFUTES KEYNES First edition of perhaps Friedman’s most significant academic work, in which he argued against the Keynesian use of government policy to regulate the economy, and rejects the viability of Keynes’s “multiplier effect”. The work resolved several paradoxes regarding the relationship between the wealth and spending habits of consumers and it remains a foundational work in economics. “Friedman’s study of consumption, while it had many critics, made a deep impression on the economics profession and continued to be a staple of policy discussions in the decades that followed” ( ANB ).

The publisher, Yamada Unsodo, was renowned for its high level of woodblock cutting and printing.
