Although the macroeconomic relationships emphasized by the Austrians are largely complementary to the relationships that have dominated the thinking of macroeconomists for the past half century, capital-based macroeconomics presents a fundamental challenge to modern theorists and practitioners who overdraw the short-run/long-run distinction.

The nature and significance of the distinction between economic growth and cyclical variation is established on the basis of a modern rendition of F.A.Hayek's capital‑based macroeconomics.
