The Great Financial Crisis of 2007–08 has cast a long shadow on the economic and political realities we confront today, as did the Great Depression of the 1930s on the decades that followed. These economic earthquakes also upended the conventional economic thinking, particularly in the realm of macroeconomics. This event presents four new books that address various aspects of macroeconomic theory and policymaking.
