Macroeconomics began as the study of large-scale economic pathologies such as prolonged depression, mass unemployment and persistent inflation.

This book evolved from the authors' profound disagreement with that trend. It demonstrates not only how the new classical view got macroeconomics wrong, but how to go about doing macroeconomics the right way.
