UNIT 3: Classical v. Keynesian

 (2/24/16)



CLASSICAL V. KEYNESIAN

Classical:
 - Competition good
                 - Invisible hand (gov/economy can regulate itself)
                 - Economy balanced at full employment
                 - Economy always close to or at full employment
                 - Support the trickle down effect (help rich first, everyone else 2nd)


Keynesian: - Competition flawed
                    - AD is the key not AS
                    - Leaks & savings cause recessions
                    - Ratchet effects and sticky wages block Say's Law
                    - In the Long-run, we are dead

  1. Salma, thank you for adding the graphs they make it easier to understand the difference between both schools. The video is also very interesting but I also have a video that even though its over the same thing it goes more in depth and it has good examples. Take a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt_L8WFKvLc
