Covering Robert Clower's writings over four decades, this collection brings together papers and recent material on economic method and theoretical foundations. Issues discussed include the doctrine and methodology of economics, price determination, oligopoly theory and Keynesian economics, as well as some of Professor Clower's reviews of the work of other scholars. They offer a history of one scholar's attempt to enhance scientific understanding of observed economic phenomena during the last half century.

Author: Introduction to mathematical Economics, 1957, Economic Doctrine and Method, 1995, Money and Markets, 1984. Editor: Readings in Monetary Theory, 1968. Managing editor American Economic Review, 1980-1985.
I have been concerned throughout my professional career with the study of disequilibrium adjustment processes at both the microeconomic (household and firm) and macroeconomic level. This perspective underlies my early interest in stock-flow analysis, my later work on the micro-foundation of macroeconomics and monetary theory, and my current interest in the theory of
ongoing systems of monetary exchange. Though regarded by some of my colleagues as an idiosyncratic iconoclast, I consider myself to be a thoroughly constructive critic of conventional wisdom.
My principal contributions have, I think, shed fresh light on central questions of economics concerning the self-organising and selfadjustment capabilities of decentralised economic systems. One way and another, I think I have helped to add sense to a discipline that is (and probably always will be) remarkably full of nonsense.
