| | Keynesian economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Keynesian economics promotes a mixed economy, where both the state and the private sector play an important role. | | | Classical economics, on the other hand, argues that one should cut taxes when there are budget surpluses, to return money to private hands. | | | Further, Keynesianism recommends counter-cyclical policies, for example raising taxes when there is abundant demand-side growth to cool the economy and to prevent inflation, even if there is a budget surplus. |

| | Keynesian Economics |
| | Keynesian economics is a theory of aggregate economic phenomena that stresses the importance of total spending at the national level. | | | Keynesians believed that increases in tax rates always increase revenue, but this assumes that individuals work and invest for before tax income. | | | Hence, Keynesians argued that governments should increase spending and decrease taxes to counteract reductions in private spending. |

| | Christianity and Economics - The Fall of Keynesian Economics |
| | Keynesians attributed the inflation to expansionary budget deficits. | | | Both Keynesians and monetarists agree that it obviously does not benefit the economy if the government pays for the new spending by raising taxes – then the decrease in demand from higher taxes offsets the increase in demand from new spending. | | | In the Keynesian terminology nominal wages are “sticky,” and employers cannot cut their employee’s wages.[xx] Since wages will not adjust downwards, and businesses must pay their employees the same wages they did when the nation had a much higher income, the economy will stay stuck in a recession if left to its own devices. |

| | New Keynesian economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It strives to provide microeconomic foundations to Keynesian economics by showing how imperfect markets can justify demand management by the government or its central bank. | | | This is saying that the reason firms do not change their prices immediately is due to the costs that they must incur in order to do so. | | | , which emphasizes the role of fundamental uncertainty in economic life, especially concerning issues of private fixed investment. |

| | The Crisis of Keynesian Economics by Geoffrey Pilling |
| | Keynesian doctrine became a dogma which was used to justify policies of expansion and growth, with little regard being paid for the cost of such measures. | | | He pointed out that in the 1960s, according to the precepts of Keynesianism, in a situation of slump the government would – within the constraints imposed by the balance of payments situation – have raised spending and cut taxes. | | | Thus in the so-called Alternative Economic Strategy – proposed by the Trades Union Congress and others in opposition to the economic policies pursued by the Thatcher governments since 1979 – a large element of Keynesianism is clearly visible. |

| | The Crisis of Keynesian Economics by Geoffrey Pilling |
| | Keynesianism was a policy suitable for conditions of mass unemployment when the running of a budget deficit would have made a considerable contribution to alleviating such a situation. | | | Rendered into concrete terms this meant that any variables might be selected within the economic system: the choice of the appropriate ones would be judged from the point of view of their effectiveness and applicability in preserving existing economic forms. | | | Given the evident inadequacy of a purely monetary policy as a means to economic recovery, the only alternative would have been one centred on a considerable increase in government expenditure – the Keynesian solution. |

| | Postscript to Keynesian Economics |
| | From a Keynesian point of view, the process of balance of payments adjustment could more usefully be traced through changes in aggregate income associated with surpluses or deficits in the international accounts than through gold movements and the ancillary monetary and price changes to which the neo-classical economists had directed attention. | | | With a few simplifying assumptions and a bit of algebraic manipulation, it can be demonstrated that the equilibrium rate of growth in national income equals the ratio of saving to income divided by the ratio of capital to the value of output. | | | This problem is addressed by examining the dual properties of investment expenditure: on the demand side it generates income through the Keynesian multiplier; on the supply side it augments productive capacity. |

| | The Keynesian Revolution |
| | Keynesian economics attempts to understand an economy in which everything happens at once and in which money serves as a store of value. | | | The Depression and Keynesianism brought about governments that were also responsible for maintaining high levels of economic growth, low levels of unemployment and a less inequitable distribution of income than would result from market forces alone. | | | John Maynard Keynes and his followers developed a new approach to economics that could both explain recessions and depressions and point the way to economic policies that could be used to end recessions and depressions. |

| | Why Keynes Lives |
| | Extolling the spontaneous order of the market is no way to sell government plans, but espousing Keynesian economics is. Keynesian economics may not be the government planners' Joe Camel--income inequality is the planners' Joe Camel--but it is no doubt the most effective way for government planners to hawk macroeconomic planning. | | | The macroeconomics of the government planning class will be Keynesian economics. | | | (One's words sometimes come back to haunt, don't they?) The premise of the entire debate is the Keynesian notion that government planners can engineer increases in production to reduce unemployment but at a cost of higher inflation; and they can engineer decreases in production to reduce inflation, but only at a cost of higher unemployment. |

| | Keynesianism is primarily a method for moderating the business cycle, not a cure-all for every aspect of fiscal policy. | | | The policy lessons of Keynesianism are fairly simple: in a recession, you want to stimulate spending in one or more of the three segments of the economy. | | | Keynes was not endorsing budget deficits as a general policy, he was simply describing their effect on a modern economy, and his description is either right or wrong, not liberal or conservative. |

| | The "Keynesian Revolution" emphasized markets for goods and services as the source of macroeconomic disturbance and de-emphasized monetary and financial sources. | | | These readings explore the mechanics and implications of the simplest "Keynesian" models that economists have used to explain problems of unemployment and recession. | | | In contrast, the quantity theory of money assumed that the interesting action took place in the market for money balances, and the market for goods and services adjusted. |

| | In that small tract, he identified the "inflationary gap" created by resource constraints during the war effort, and promoted the device of "compulsory saving" and rationing to prevent price inflation, proposals that were adopted in 1941. | | | In 1929, he wrote an election pamphlet with Hubert D. Henderson advocating the use of public works to reduce unemployment and condemning the Treasury's fear of "budget deficits". | | | As one American politician put it, everyone always knew that the economic policies recommended by the Neoclassical economists were bad policies; but now they realized it was also bad economics. |

| | REVIEW OF DAVIS |
| | In fact, standard textbook Keynesianism, whose graphics and equations make the case for monetary and fiscal activism, are repeatedly described in the Davis volume as "bastardized Keynesianism" (Joan Robinson's term) so as to provide an appropriate contrast with the more radical Keynesianism adopted by the volume's contributors. | | | Post Keynesians typically--but not in the volume under review--suggest still more complications: a dual market structure consisting of both competitive and oligopolistic firms, mark-up pricing (practiced by the oligopolists) to finance new investment, and Marxian class conflict. | | | So the time is right, once again, to focus on the expectations that govern the economic process in the face of uncertainty and to think about the institutional arrangements most conducive to a healthy economy. |
