Book Review: Macroeconomics: An Introduction by Alex M. Thomas - LSE Review of Books Kaibalyapati Mishra reviews Macroeconomics by Alex M. Thomas, which offers a new introduction to macroeconomics, set in the context of the Indian economy.

"The strength that Macroeconomics: An Introduction has in comparison to existing textbooks on macroeconomics is in its examples taken from the real world, both from India and across the globe." @lsereviewofbooks.bsky.social

From the archives: how much was history of economics still taught in US economics graduate programs in 1989.

Are your students more creative and reflexive now that close to 0% of them are offered a class in history of economics?

Last week, 50+ people from various institutions from India, Italy and Australia gathered at Azim Premji University, Bengaluru to learn and discuss the Sraffa-Keynes approach to doing Economics. We had 4 days of fantastic historical, theoretical, and empirical discussions in a lovely campus.
