I read the last one quite a while ago.  Very competent understanding of
econometric modeling and its pitfalls.  The argument is that the cherished
equilibrium is a dubious concept because of the underdetermined nature of
econometric equations (i.e. more than one solution possible) - a very
effective "inside" critique.
