FOREWORD
The purpose of this book is to present the main themes of macroeconomics as simply and lucidly as possible, not only so that its readers can pass their exams but in the more ambitious hope that long after these exams have faded into oblivion, something of the central ideas and conclusions of contemporary economics will remain.
The problem in a book of this kind is not just how to present the material, but where to draw the line-a matter than cannot, I fear, be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. The instructor who has spent years acquiring the knowledge of the subtleties and complexities of economic relationships is sure to feel that much has been left out. The student who has a semester or two to absorb all the formal economic instruction he is likely to receive in his life is apt to feel just the opposite. By way of apology to both, I can only say that I thought hard I have drawn the line, emphasizing and highlighting prominently certain basic processes of great conceptual and practical importance and minimizing side issues of secondary interest. A question whose answer we are eager to learn, both my readers and myself, is whether I will help to achieve success in their exams or if I can leave an "enduring" knowledge of economics.
In carrying out this work a lot more people have helped me whom I want to thank their efforts.

PROLOGO
Este libro tiene por objeto presentar los temas principales de la macroeconomía tan sencilla y claramente como sea posible, no sólo para que sus lectores-estudiantes puedan aprobar sus exámenes, sino con la esperanza más ambiciosa de que, mucho tiempo después de que el recuerdo de tales pruebas se haya relegado al olvido, quede en su memoria algo de las ideas y conclusiones fundamentales de la economía contemporánea.
En un texto de esta naturaleza, el problema no estriba únicamente en la forma de presentar el material, sino hasta dónde se puede llegar, cosa que, me temo, no es posible resolver a satisfacción de todo el mundo. El maestro, que ha dedicado varios años a adquirir el conocimiento de las sutilezas y complejidades de las relaciones económicas, es indudable que opinará que se ha omitido demasiado. El estudiante, que sólo cuenta con uno o dos semestres para asimilar toda la enseñanza económica formal que probablemente reciba en su vida, es posible que estime todo lo contrario. A guisa de disculpa para ambos, solamente puedo decir que he reflexionado mucho sobre las limitaciones que he dado a este trabajo, enfatizando y haciendo destacar prominentemente ciertos procesos básicos de gran importancia conceptual y práctica y reduciendo al mínimo los aspectos colaterales de interés secundario. Una interrogación, cuya respuesta estamos ansiosos por saber tanto mis lectores como yo, es si ahora lograré ayudarlos en sus exámenes o si podré transmitirles un conocimiento "perdurable" de la economía.
En la ejecución de este trabajo me han ayudado muchísimo varias personas a quienes deseo agradecer sus esfuerzos. A Hans Neisser, miembro de la Facultad de Postgraduados de la Nueva Escuela de Investigaciones Sociales, cuyos atinados comentarios críticos dieron fuerza substancial al manuscrito, me complace dedicarle este libro como muestra de gratitud por su colaboración actual y la que me ha brindado en ocasiones anteriores, así como en pago parcial de una deuda permanente de reconocimiento del estudiante al maestro y del colega al amigo.
