AbstractThis review argues that Edmund Phelps in fact undertook one journey, which led him to the theme of “flourishing,” meaning that workers derive satisfaction from their job. He sees flourishing people rather than scientists and entrepreneurs as the ultimate source of innovation and hence economic growth, a topic that has occupied his mind from the beginning of his brilliant career. The book makes for fascinating reading—and in passing traces the new Macroeconomics pioneered by its author.KEYWORDS: Microeconomic foundations of macroeconomicspersistence of unemployment and inflationisland parableflourishinginnovationJEL CLASSIFICATIONS: A13B22D21D63D82E24E63I30J28J64O11O12O31O41Y3 Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
