A new year and a changing chair means office shake-ups, which means free books. I've acquired:
1. Eric Roll, History of Economic Thought - 4th edition (I believe there are five now). I hadn't heard of him but it looks comprehensive and well written.
2. Mas-Colell. I was a little disappointed not to have used this in Micro I. I believe they use it in Micro II, though, which I'll be taking in the spring. A free one is nice to have!
3. Robert Lucas - Studies in Business Cycle Theory. It's just an MIT Press collection of all his major contributions. Sometimes it's nice to have it all in one place.
I think there's an old NBER conference volume on public finance I think I might pick up too... they're just handsome old books that always seem nice to have.
