A masterpiece of modern econometrics and one of the most important methodological statements of twentieth century economics. "For many academic economists, A Theory of the Consumption Function (1957) is [Friedman's] greatest work. Friedman showed that the Keynesian concept of household behaviour was fundamentally flawed, arguing that people adjusted their consumption to variations in their long-term expected ('permanent') income. As such, his theory foreshadows the approach to microfoundations that is the cornerstone of modern macroeconomics" (New Palgrave).
