Course Description:
The author of the most widely used macroeconomic textbook states that "There are two steps to learning macroeconomics. First, to see it as it is today. Second, to understand how it got there." This seminar tackles step two. It reviews macroeconomic thought of the last 100 years, from the Keynesian revolution in the 1930s to new macroeconomic directions in the wake of COVID-19 Students will learn how developments in macroeconomic thought and policies follow closely the social and political economy developments of the last century, including the great depression, decolonization of the Global South, stagflation of the 1970s, the rise of neoliberalism, and the technology boom of the late 20th and early 21st century. |
