Riddles and Models: A Review Essay on Michel De Vroey’s A History of Macroeconomics from Keynes to Lucas and Beyond
Journal of Economic Literature
2018
This essay reviews Michel De Vroey’s important new book on the history of macroeconomics, which extends to business cycles an earlier book by the same author on the history of involuntary unemployment. The review also offers a broader nontechnical survey of the issues and models that make up modern macroeconomics, including a reckoning of what we have learned since John Maynard Keynes and of the discoveries that still lie ahead.
