This book provides an overview and assessment of various theoretical approaches in macroeconomics that focus on wage rigidities and involuntary unemployment. It offers an analysis of the microeconomic foundations of rigid wages and considers their implications for public policy. It reports new findings concerning the theory of fix-price temporary equilibria, and provides an analysis of the micro-foundations of inefficiencies in the labor market such as risk-sharing mechanisms, union behavior and efficiency wage models.

This is the first volume in a new three-volume history of the University Press, which will eventually bring the story as far as modern times: the next volume (on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) is in preparation. The history is not only about University printers and their work–especially scholarly, schoolbook, Bible, prayer book and almanac publishing (the University Printers were England's largest suppliers of almanacs in the late seventeenth century)–but also about the rest of the seventeenth century book trade in Cambridge, London, continental Europe and North America.

Published to mark the four hundredth anniversary of the first book to be printed in Cambridge by John Siberch in 1521, this book traces the development of the Press over four centuries. S.C. Roberts, who became Secretary to the Press Syndicate in 1922, blends archival research with an anecdotal style to produce this informative account.
