"Macroeconomics has been in an unsettled state since the early 1970s. The Keynesian model, which was almost universally accepted as the basic paradigm until the late 1960s, is regarded by most economists as scientifically not quite respectable. Periodically, some group of economists tries to patch up the Keynesian framework—the most recent effort was by the new Keynesians in the 1980s—but the results have never really been successful."
