Chloe Roberts is on top of the world. After a stellar first year at the prestigious Morton Academy, she’s a shoo-in for Head Girl and a coveted position in the school’s secret society, Jewel and Bone. But her dreams are shattered when her best friend, Nikhita Patel, unfairly snatches the top spot—and steals Chloe’s boyfriend at the same time. Heartbroken and humiliated, Chloe discovers a shocking truth: Jewel and Bone isn’t as secret as she thought. The rest of the school despises the Jewels, and there’s even a “Book of Crime and Punishment” cataloging their misdeeds. Things take a very dark turn when the names in the book start to correlate with murders of Jewel and Bone members on campus. Suddenly, anyone could be a suspect.

El pensamiento de John Maynard Keynes tuvo un profundo impacto en la teoría económica del siglo XX. Tras oponerse al Tratado de Versalles y participar en el comité que investigó el crac del 29, escribió la Teoría general de la ocupación, el interés y el dinero, que en su día fue revolucionaria. Sus ideas, sin embargo, hoy se han integrado al sentido común: demanda agregada, rechazo del automatismo del mercado, la importancia del intervencionismo estatal, etc. Hoy, cuando las consecuencias de la crisis financiera del 2008 aún siguen presentes, el keynesianismo aún tiene mucho que enseñarnos. Los economistas Peter Temin y David Vines presentan una accesible introducción a las ideas keynesianas, poniendo en relación la perspectiva de Keynes con la economía mundial y ofreciendo a los lectores un modelo para comprender los presentes debates económicos.
