John Weeks is Professor Emeritus and Senior Researcher at SOAS, University of London, UK

"John Weeks has written a passionate indictment of mainstream macroeconomics. His audience is skeptical students (and their teachers) who are puzzled about the lack of contact between what their textbooks and "learned" journals say about how things happen and what should be done about them on the one hand, and what they observe in the day-to-day happenings of the world in which they live on the other. Weeks has absorbed the approach and details of the mainstream literature, reduced it to its essentials and examined its internal logic, which be often finds either wanting, or so dependent on special assumptions for which there is little economic justification as to be of limited applicability, or none at all. He contrasts these findings with the more relevant approach to be found in the writings of Marx, Keynes, and Weeks's own institutionalist teachers of long ago. The Irreconcilable Inconsistencies of Neoclassical Macroeconomics: False Paradigm is the best sort of text book - clear, honest, challenging and relevant". - G. C.
