This book examines macroeconomic theory from an analytical
framework provided by theories of complex systems, in contrast to
conventional theories founded on aggregation. The resulting
difference in analytical perspectives is huge: the macro level of
society is not pursued through aggregation over micro entities. To
the contrary, the micro-macro relation is treated as one of
parts-to-whole, and this relation is approached from within an
ecological scheme of thought. A society is a complex ecology of
plans. That ecology, however, is not reducible to a single plan.
Conventional macro theory presents a national economy as a
collection of such aggregate variables as output, employment,
investment, and a price level, and seeks to develop theoretical
relationships among those variables. In contrast, the
social-theoretic approach to macro or social theory in this book
treats the standard macro variables as having been shaped through
social institutions, conventions, and processes that in turn are
generated through interaction among economizing persons. The object
denoted as macro is thus of a higher order of complexity than the
object denoted as micro.
