Learning outcomes
The course aims to explain the origins, role, and significance of macroeconomics within economic science. Macroeconomics stands in relation to economics as—by analogy—cosmology does to physics. Understanding it helps us grasp how the world works. The lectures are therefore intended to provide both historical and interpretative keys to understanding reality, with a particular focus on how national wealth is measured and what it consists of.
