THE EVOLUTION OF MODERN MACROECONOMICS BETWEEN PERSPECTIVES: IN SEARCH OF LOST SINTHESHIS

ABSTRACT Far from being a synthetic reconstruction of authors and ideas, the history of economic thought is presented more as narratives interspersed with different perspectives. An example of this is Keynes, who built his general theory to oppose the Classical School, but covering the neoclassical theory. Despite objections to the solecism of Keynes, the history of economic thought was reckoned incorporating his definition but few exceptions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the main contributions to macroeconomic thinking from two different analytical cuts, the conventional synthesized by Joan Robinson and that of Keynes. Therefore we argue the use of these different perspectives on understanding of same contents, causes uncertainties in Macroeconomics stopping to adequately consider the overlapping and contradictory aspects of macroeconomic theories.
