You might want to try David Romer's Advanced Macroeconomics (a higher level undergrad text) or Acemoglu's Introduction to Modern Economic Growth (lower level grad text). From http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Economics/14-452Spring-2007/Syllabus/index.htm http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Economics/14-452Spring-2007/Syllab... : Macroeconomics is a rapidly changing field.

"What Do We Know About Macroeconomics that Fisher and Wicksell Did Not?" Quarterly Journal of Economics 115, no. 4 (November 2000): 1375-1410. Woodford, M. "Revolution and Evolution in Twentieth-Century Macroeconomics." June 1999. Paper presented at Frontiers of the Mind in the Twenty-First Century, U.S. Library of Congress, Washington, DC, June 1999. For two more recent and more polemical, pieces, you may also want to read: Chari, V. V. "Modern Macroeconomics in Practice: How Theory is Shaping Policy." Journal of Economic Perspectives 20, no. 4 (2006): 3-28. Mankiw, N. G. "The Macroeconomist as Scientist and Engineer." Journal of Economic Perspectives 20, no. 4 (2006): 29-46.
