Abstract

The task of describing Professor Erickson's book is not simple. Progress Illusion is a combination of economic history, economic thought, autobiography, and revolutionary prose. In addition, the author uses a dynamic style and fresh language, which makes it accessible to readers who are not trained in economics.
