Mitchell, Watts and Wray have created a new revolution in the study of Macroeconomics. They present the study of Macroeconomics via the lens of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), a new yet lost path through the thicket of Post-Keynesian, Institutionalist and Marxist economics. This theory gains many of its insights from great heterodox economists like Kalecki, Minsky and Lerner.

Full Disclosure: This is a textbook. But a highly readable and engaging textbook! The authors walk the reader through details of economic thought using relatable and accessible language. By first explaining orthodox economic frameworks, weaknesses of neoliberal/neoclassical constructs in addressing aggregate level economic circumstances are identified and alternative approaches that better address collective welfare presented. Highly recommended.
