Economic Schools of Thought • Classical View • Markets are naturally self regulating (No Gov’t intervention necessary!) • Recessions are temporary, Wages & Prices are flexible • Keynesian View • Economy is inherently unstable, Not self regulating • Wages & prices are sticky (Gov’t intervention needed-) • Goal is usually to shift AD right! • Monetarist View • Money matters!----do not regulate economy—just control inflation • Low inflation will bring about low unemployment naturally… • Supply Side View • Incentives matter! Create incentives to increase LRAS • Focusing on AD is pointless---Promoting more AS is the answer!
