In: Moscow University Economics Bulletin, Band 2018, Heft 4, S. 187-207
The article deals with the methodological problems of the correlation between the theory and the history of macroeconomics in the training courses for economics students. The author comes to the conclusion that the unity of historical and logical in the curricula of the Macroeconomics course is realized on the basis of the principle of continuity of scientific ideas and hypotheses, consistently developed by different scientific schools. The hypotheses that unite all modern scientific schools of macroeconomics include the role of expectations of economic agents in explaining the processes of macroeconomic dynamics, the rationale for the use of rules in conducting macroeconomic policies, the relationship between economic growth and economic fluctuations.
