The answer naturally depends on where you are starting from, and the
way you've framed your question, I'd suspect you've never taken a
macroeconomics course.  (Since the topic is typically covered in
undergrad macro.)

So my first recommendation would be Samuelson's Economics, and
particularly his discussion of the neoclassical synthesis.  (Later
editions are with Nordhaus.)

The primary source or classic work is Keynes's General Theory.
