context: Macroeconomics as a science was born relatively recently. Until the 30s of the twentieth century, the very term “macroeconomics” simply did not exist as such. From 1940 to the 1977s, there is a "consolidation" of this science, and from the 1980s and later the fruitful development of macroeconomics begins [3]. Despite this, from earlier times, more and more macroeconomic ideas developed that explain the behavior of the economy, the reasons why or not to use one or another economic policy to develop it, the difference between long-term and short-term periods in the economy, and other factors. Some of them contradicted each other. Thus, many supporters of various macroeconomic ideas appeared; whole schools of macroeconomic thought appeared.
