Abstract

In this review, I argue that Forder makes a fine job in debunking the story told by Friedman in his Nobel prize lecture about the Phillips curve yet fails to assess the validity of Phelps’s and Friedman’s contributions to the Phillips curve theory.

Keywords: Phillips curve, A.W. Phillips, M. Friedman, E. Phelps
