Macroeconomic analysis has undergone profound and controversial changes during the past twenty-five years and, as such, economists have developed and evolved their approaches to the discipline. Reflections on the Development of Modern Macroeconomics presents a collection of eight original essays, from leading scholars, each of which focuses on an important issue relating to these developments.

These accessible, reflective surveys include:

• to stabilize or not to stabilize: is that the question? Brian Snowdon and Howard Vane

• how relevant is Keynesian economics today? Keith Shaw
