Krugman is a complete fool. Some of his books and writing are historically incorrect and completely politically driven. I don't trust his word on economics at all. Only statement I will make is that our society has moved from individualism towards collectivism. When we were working hard to be...

It gets complicated on the conservative side of things.. Marginalism is used in Neoclassical. Austrians reject a lot of Neoclassical beliefs. Carl Menger, creator of the Austrian School was a Marginalist. Fundamental differences please? Thomas Sowell - Chicago School (Neoclassical) Milton...

My Professor is a huge post-keynesian. Im an economics minor and I am currently in a class called Economic School of Thought. We are covering Classical, Neoclassical, Marginalism, and Keynesian. My professor although extremely biased, is still very intelligent and credible. He tries not to get...

What is that important piece? The raising taxes or cutting spending in boom time?

I don't support Keynesian Economics but picking pieces of it is probably a lot less effective. The thing is.. Raising taxes is political suicide.

China's Interest rate is at 38%? That is awesome. Why does our GDP keep growing along with the debt? Consumption is the biggest part of GDP and believe me.. We can consume. Problem is now a days everyone expects to live in McMansions with an Armani suit, smoking a stogy after work and drive...

The Government has been applying Keynesian intervention now for decades. Look at all the bailouts and Quantitative Easings. These are all contributing to the altering of our economy. More examples: bailing out Amtrak, subsidizing college loans and the creation of price floors, price ceilings...
