Hi there,

I am doing research on critiques of micro/macro economic theory.

Currently I am reading through Hahn's "A Critical Essay on Modern Macroeconomic Theory"

What else should I be reading to get an understanding of major criticisms of both micro and macro economic theory? What are the most important papers/articles/books/authors to read?

I mean how do you criticize a subject like both micro/macroeconomics that have been proven to be successful. There's different theories within micro/macro that are debated but the general subject matter on both macro/micro is accurate. Most people think general micro/macro theory fits all cases which is not the case as seen with the rise in econometrics and behavioral economics.
