Shaw furnishes a description of rational expectations whose strength is the descriptive aspect. He goes over at length and lucidly the underpinnings of this field. There are certainly equations and graphs to be digested. But it's not overweight on these. The maths is used for a qualitative understanding and is kept to a modicum. Even so, he manages to introduce the main ideas of Keynesian economics, and such seminal concepts as the Phillips Curve. And despite what you might first think for the title, Shaw also finds space [an entire chapter] to ruminate about non-rational expectations.
