LOPEZ, Enrique. ALGUNAS IDEAS SOBRE LA TEORÍA MACROECONÓMICA ACTUAL. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2001, vol.20, n.34, pp.267-279. ISSN 0121-4772.

The purpose of this paper is co show the main lines of improvement of modern macroeconomic theory. The fundamental teatures ot the debate that was carried out during the twenthieth century are presented, trom what is known as the keynesian revolution ot the thirties and torties up to the two actual main theoretical schools: What is known as the Real Business Cycle school and neo-keynesianism. The essay underlines that the recent result of the convergence between these two theoretical approaches is clear and that this is noted by the most important macroeconomic theoriticians. The Logic of the emergence ot a new neoclassical synthesis is discussed as a logical process that would allow a consensus which , given the present intensity of the debate in this area ot economic theory, allthough surprising would be coherent.
