Question

According to the lectures, which of the following ideas are representative of (neo)classical (orthodox) theory, which are representative of (post)Keynesian (heterodox) theory, and which are shared by both theories?

 
 

The loanable funds market

 

Capitalist economies will normally fail to reach full employment due to insufficient aggregate demand

 

Investment and savings are primarily functions of the rate of interest

 

Savings equals investment in equilibrium (ignoring government or foreign sector)

 

Capitalist economies tend to full employment, at least in the long run

 

The paradox of thrift

 

Demand, particularly intended investment, drives supply

 

"In the long run, we're all dead"

 

Interest rates fall when money saved exceeds the demand for those funds for investment, until savings equals investment

 

Output, income, and employment fall when money saved exceeds intended investment, until savings equals investment

 

Saving is a leakage out of, and investment is an injection into, the spending flow

 

In equilibrium, aggregate demand (total planned spending) must equal output and income

 

Supply creates its own demand
