Este libro de Eduardo Antonelli acerca al lector una doble propuesta. Por un lado, señala lo que el autor considera algunas limitaciones del análisis tradicional de la Economía, puestas de manifiesto, por ejemplo, en ciertos aspectos en la teoria del crecimiento, o en la falta de nuevos desarrollos sobre la distribucion funcional del ingreso. Por el otro, destaca que algunas de las criticas a la teoria neoclasica tradicional, que cobraron notoriedad en la Academia, fueron incompletos y contienen evidentes errores. El autor termina poniendo en evidencia que, mas alla de los señalamientos efectuados, la teoria neoclasica tradicional es, en terminos generales, valida, lo que no exime de la necesidad de destacar sus limitaciones y alentar los desarrollos de investigacion para robustecerla en sus aspectos fragiles. Destinado a cursos de Economia, especialmente Macroeconomia, en capitulos avanzados de las carreras de grado y muy apropiado para cursos de posgrado y doctorados. Y, aunque el texto contiene muchos desarrollos tecnicos con el correspondiente bagaje matematico, tambien incluye la interpretacion de los resultados alcanzados, lo que permite el acceso a su lectura por parte de publico no especializado.
