Thanks—I wasn’t aware of the Open Phil resource or those other readings. I’ll check them out.
Agree that macroeconomics is far from a neglected subject, but given the potential impact of these issues it feels like something that I at least would like to have a more solid understanding of and views about. It also seems plausible to me that the perspective of EAs might be slightly different that mainstream economists—e.g. due to the focus on longtermism and global, rather than national, welfare.
I’ll add a bibliography, including your reccomendations, but tbh my understanding has largely been informed by discussions with a friend who did their PhD in economic history. It’s a little hard to cite those discussions :)
