John Cornwall, in a series of major books, including "Modern Capitalism: Its Growth and Transformation" (1977) and the "Economic Breakdown and Recovery: Theory and Policy" (1994) has followed two guidelines for macroeconomic theory: it should explain historical processes; and it should help authorities to identify remedial policies. He has challenged prevailing convictions about the capacity of economies to regulate themselves given only a suitably flexible monetary policy. He has argued forcefully that achieving simultaneously growing per capita incomes, an acceptable rate of inflation, and full employment depend on recasting institutions like collective bargaining and on effective government intervention once the legacies of past poor performance have been dealt with.
