Macroeconomics after Keynes: A Reconsideration of the General Theory.
本书以凯恩斯《通论》为核心,为本科生和学者重新解读其理论,主张《通论》比后续文献更能深刻理解宏观经济结构与分析方法,并呼吁将其重新纳入主流教学。
This is a book about a book : JiM .Keynes 's The General Theory of Employment , Interest and Money .It is the outcome of several years ' experience using the General Theory as the core of my macroeconomics courses for undergraduates at UCL .I believe it sheds new light on Keynes ' s book , and in that respect my intended audience is my fellow -academics , but it is also meant for students : I feel strongly that the current practice of separating one 's audience , reserving new thinking for the professionals and giving students only what is generally accepted , is both patronising to students and inimical to the vitality and progress of our subject .Therefore I hope to encourage others , by means of this book , to bring the General Theory back into mainstream teaching -not because there is anything sacrosanct about Keynes , but because I would argue (do argue , in this book ) that the General Theory gives a far richer understanding of the structure of macroeconomic interactions and methods of analysing them than much of what has been written since .
