description |
For decades, many researchers argued
that economics had nothing to fear from enriching itself
with lessons and advances from other disciplines.
Unfortunately, these suggestions were either neglected or
dismissed upfront in what was then arbitrarily considered
mainstream economics. The global crisis has led even Nobel
Prize winners to acknowledge that the problem facing
economists and policy makers today is mostly intellectual -
it is the need to confront the systematic failure of
thinking, especially on the part of macroeconomists. Despite
its unprecedented magnitude and heavy financial, human, and
intellectual cost, the crisis certainly does not invalidate
everything that has been learned about macroeconomics.
However, the costs highlight some of mistakes of the
dominant intellectual macroeconomic framework.
Post-macroeconomics should not be understood as another
metanarrative of the end of metanarratives. The use of the
prefix post here suggests and emphasizes much more than
temporal posterity. Post-macroeconomics should follow from
macroeconomics more than it follows after macroeconomics.
The theorizing of post-macroeconomics is therefore neither
systematically oppositional nor hegemonic. It does not
advocate a - dialectic opposition - between macroeconomics
and post-macroeconomics. Rather, it suggests that the latter
builds on the former and goes beyond it. |
