Jacques Mazier is Professor Emeritus at the University Sorbonne Paris Nord, CEPN-CNRS, France.

"This is the first book that combines in a systematic way two essential macroeconomic approaches that are essential to our understanding of international macroeconomic imbalances: the well-known Fundamental Equilibrium Exchange Rate (FEER) and the ever-more popular post-Keynesian stock-flow consistent (SFC) approach." - Marc Lavoie, Senior Research Chair, University of Sorbonne Paris Cité, France
