While there is truth to the fact that there are plenty of disagreements among macroeconomists, we believe such a negative view is unwarranted. Since the birth of macroeconomics as a discipline in the 1930s, in spite of all the uncertainties, inconsistencies, and crises, macroeconomic performance around the world has been strong. More recently, dramatic shocks, such as the Great Financial Crisis or the Covid pandemic, have been managed – not without cost, but with effective damage control. There is much to celebrate in the field of macroeconomics尽管宏观经济学家之间存在大量分歧这一事实是事实，但我们认为这种消极观点是没有道理的。自20世纪30年代宏观经济学作为一门学科诞生以来，尽管存在各种不确定性、不一致性和危机，但全球宏观经济表现一直强劲。最近，大金融危机或新冠疫情等剧烈冲击得到了控制——不是没有成本，而是有了有效的损害控制。在宏观经济学领域有很多值得庆祝的事情
