This book assesses major schools of thought in macroeconomic theory between the Great Depression and the Long Recession, focusing on their analysis of cycles, crises and macro-policy. It explores the road from the dominance of Keynesian ideas to those of New Classical Macroeconomics (NCM) toward the end of the millennium.
The book covers the early influential work of Knut Wicksell; the economic debates of the 1930s, with core contributions from John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich von Hayek; the rise of Keynesianism in the 1950s and its decline since the 1970s; the rise of Monetarism in the 1960s; and NCM's subsequent rise to prominence.
Finally, the book outlines how macroeconomics has evolved from its birth in the 1930s as a theory separate from microeconomics, resulting in a split between macro- and micro-theories, and ended up with a new hegemonic paradigm based on microfoundations. The ensuing policy thinking witnessed a transformation from "active" macro-policy after the Great Depression to a far more "passive" macro-policy during the last quarter of the twentieth century, which may have contributed to missing the signs of the impending Long Recession of 2008.
"When the 2008 crisis struck, macroeconomists were caught with models that were theoretically elegant yet inappropriate to the needs of the moment. A broader historical perspective may have prevented the jettisoning of Keynesian models that had proved useful in the past and might have done so again. This highly readable book by Arie Arnon is a wonderful antidote to economists' short time horizon and contributes mightily to restore the profession's "collective memory" of the diversity of ideas within macroeconomics."

"This book can serve as a ground-clearing exercise from which a new direction in macroeconomics can spring? Nothing would please the author more. This book is explicitly a work of the history of economic thought, engaging with the literature on the history of thought as much as with the primary texts that mark milestones in that history. As a sometime historian of economic thought myself, there is much here that is familiar but also much that is new." (Perry Mehrling, Journal of the History of Economic Thought, Vol. 55 (2), 2023)
"This new opus by Arie Arnon was very much awaited. Given the strong emphasis laid on the monetary thinking of the different authors considered, and particularly their views regarding the proper conduct of monetary policy, this new work will be especially appreciated by those ... interested in monetary issues within the subfield of macroeconomics. ... Arnon's book is a great achievement ... and should find its place on the shelf of anyone interestedin the history of monetary macroeconomics."
