Abstract

The financial and economic crises that started in the USA in 2007 and spread to many other countries led many economists, policy makers and economic analysts to question the validity and relevance of the extant macroeconomic theories, with some calling for a reformulation of macroeconomics and others even calling for a revision of the sociology of economics and the mindset of economists. This ferment in macroeconomics produced many contributions in economic analysis, with most of these dealing with specific sectors, usually the financial one, or the types of policies that central banks needed to pursue. This book responds to this call by a general revision of macroeconomic theory.
