What’s right with macroeconomics?
When we began to think about this outline, we realized that the Center had generally stayed away from issues of (more or less) pure theory. This was probably a good idea; neither our purpose nor our audience would be happy with screens full of equations. So we have tried to cull from various suggestions the outline of a conference on basic issues in macroeconomics that can be discussed in our style.
