Is Summers becoming a post-Keynesian?

Tom Hickey said...

I think he may be seeing the light and is shifting stance.

Tom,

have you watched his speech and the Q&A?

Tom Hickey said...

Not yet, y. I am basing my view on things he said in the recent past and his acquaintance with MMT.

He can see all the light you please. He is a scoundrel, and I think you should know better.

For just two examples:

Let's be charitable and say that no one is irredeemable.

But the fact is that the world is ruled by scoundrels, and replacing all of them is hardly feasible absent political revolution.

If we can entice or force them toward our position, we'll all be better off.

The world is inhabited by scoundrels too. They elect their own.

Tom Hickey said...

Yes, but my scoundrel is better than yours.

@ y

Neoliberalism at its best. No wonder Summers became the darling of neoliberals on the "left" (oxymoron).

Jose Guilherme said...

Well, let us just say that - independently of the stand he may have taken in other instances - this time Larry Summers got it 100% right.

Welcome to the left wing of Keynesianism, Larry!

one thing that was off was Summer's apparent argument that higher interest rates would reduce 'financial instability'.

He appears to have dumped the 'natural rate of interest' theory though, which is pretty astounding if true.
