Abstract

The new situation of the development of the financial system after the global financial crisis has put forward new requirements for innovation in the traditional macro finance curriculum system. This paper combs the historical process of the integration of financial and macroeconomic analysis from the perspective of the history of economic analysis, pointing out that the traditional financial course content system lags behind the development of modern economic and financial systems and financial theory, and proposes to optimize traditional financial courses system to strengthen the content construction of macro finance courses.
