What's Right With Macroeconomics?
Robert M. Solow, Jean-Philippe Touffut, Robert M. Solow, Jean-Philippe TouffutThe contributors, nine highly-renowned macroeconomists, highlight the virtues of eclectic macroeconomics over an authoritarian normative approach, and illustrate that macroeconomic reasoning can still be a useful tool for carrying out practical policy analysis. As for emerging research programmes, their wide-ranging chapters remind us that there are positive approaches to and reasons to believe in old-fashioned macroeconomics.
This challenging and thought-provoking book will prove a stimulating read for researchers, academics and students of economics, as well as for professional economists.
