Modern Macroeconomics
"More than a decade after the publication of the critically acclaimed A Modern Guide to Macroeconomics, Brian Snowdon and Howard Vane have produced a worthy successor in the form of Modern Macroeconomics. Thoroughly extended, revised and updated, it will become the indispensable text for students and teachers of macroeconomics in the new millennium." "The authors trace the origins, development and current state of modern macroeconomics from an historical perspective. They do so by thoroughly appraising the central tenets underlying the main competing schools of macroeconomic thought as well as their diverse policy implications."--BOOK JACKET.

- George is also fairly "antique" as far as macroeconomists go. It's not too much of an exaggeration that anything from before the ~1950's is consider little more than curiosities that illustrate progress of economics thought.
For the most comprehensive book on the subject, see http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Macroeconomics-Origins-Developm...
- I am ABD in economics, and I use the following rule of thumb: If you think you understand macroeconomics, you are hopelessly lost. If you are thoroughly confused, you are beginning to understand.
By the way, since people seem to be interested, I think the best macro book is Snowdon and Vane's Modern Macroeconomics.
