There isn’t this much disagreement over macro. Especially undergrad macro.
The undergrad macro you’ve already described as so simplified that it doesn’t apply to real world situations and ignores the controversy between feuding schools which bars any kind of consensus.
And I explained how one could use the models taught in macro principles to think about each example.
“With this undergrad course in the 4 humors, I hope that you will be able to use the basic principles of melancholy vs choleric etc to interpret the illnesses and personalities you see around you...”
Whatever. I’m done. I provided the relevant examples, you acknowledge that there is indeed no consensus about them, and that’s all that was needed.
Should one skip right to graduate level macroeconomics, then? Or are there companion resources one might want to consume concurrently with learning undergraduate level macro? A previous poster recommended learning undergrad with a healthy dose of scepticism; if that scepticism were applied to half-truths taught in undergrad macro, would the supposed activity of ‘learning about economics’ become an exercise in comparing maps to their charted territory?
I am not sure that given the state of the art, macro is worth learning at all at any level for people who do not plan to go into academia specializing in macro.
