Greg Kaplan – författare

Discussions about interest rates, debt or inflation sound mystifying. Much of what we hear about macroeconomics–from politicians, pundits or even professors–bears little resemblance to how economists think about policy and to people’s actual experiences. Macro bridges that gap.In clear and engaging prose, Chicago economist Greg Kaplan demystifies how our everyday behaviour, including how we spend and save, connects to the biggest questions in fiscal policy. Tracing the evolution of modern macroeconomics from Keynes to today, he guides readers through the models often used to explain our economy, uncovering their flaws and revealing what they tell us about managing the economy in good times and bad. The journey culminates in HANK, a macroeconomic model co-created by Kaplan that is more consistent with reality. Macro offers a timely, new framework for understanding and shaping economics in the real world.

It is well known that in formulating his general theoretical framework and views on religion Freud drew on multiple disciplines within the natural and social sciences, as well as from the humanities. This edited collection adds to the continued multidisciplinary interest in Freud by focusing on his understanding and interpretation of and relationship to religion. It 'disciplines' Freud by situating his work on religion from the methodological interests and theoretical advances found in diverse disciplinary contexts. Scholars within the field of religious studies, Jewish Studies, philosophy, and the natural sciences bring together their diverse voices to heighten the academic understanding of Freud on religion. The contributors aim to establish closer and more direct interdisciplinary communication and collaboration with regard to Freudian Studies. This volume should appeal to a wide range of scholars, for upper level undergraduate and graduate classes and those training in psychoanalysis.
