It is very hard not to get swamped by details (the trees) and thereby miss the Big Picture (the forest), so the techniques that should be used must be taken from other similar kinds of problems. Such methods have been applied by systems engineers and it is when taking this approach that the subject of macroeconomics can become a true science instead of its present pseudo-version. Unlike past political influences and wrongful emphasis, there is a non-political and objective way of looking at this subject, without bias. This is the path of scientific investigation.

After many years of part-time research and after much frustration about how the subject is often badly presented, the author’s work has now culminated in a published text. My recent book “Consequential Macroeconomics–Rationalizing About How Our Social System Works” is available as an e-copy for free and it will solve this problem in understanding. Write to me for an e-copy to chesterdh@hotmail.com and be prepared for a shock! Its not easy reading, but the first time our subject has become a true science.
