Abstract
In this book we have, so far, concentrated mainly on the theoretical explanations of how the macroeconomy works. Where it has been possible to introduce an element of realism, without destroying the simplicity of the theories, this has been done. Now, as a final exercise, we must open our theories up to the tests of the real world in order to discover how useful they are likely to be.
