Prior to working on this discussion, read chapters 7 and 8. As you learned this week, there are different schools of economic thoughts. These schools of economic thought can broadly be categorized in two- Classical school and Keynesian school. The Classical school includes its later development such as monetarism, Austrian economics, supply-side economics, and neo classical economics. The Keynesian school includes its later development- neo Keynesian economics.
For the initial post,
- If your last name begins with A through L, form an argument as a Classical economist by defending the Classical school and providing criticism on Keynesian school.
- If your last name begins with M through Z, form an argument as a Keynesian economist by defending the Keynesian school and providing criticism on Classical school.
In your post,
- Compare and contrast classical economics and Keynesian What are the major differences between them?
- Which model would you prefer? You may already prefer one because you are defending your school. Thoroughly explain your reasoning.
- As a classical economist or a Keynesian economist, what would you do for the current S. economy?
