Extract

My title intentionally harks back to Maurice Peston's slim, but excellent, 1980 book, entitled Whatever Happened to Macro-economics. In this book, a compilation of three lectures, Maurice asks how much then remained of traditional Keynesian macroeconomics in the aftermath of the monetarist counter-revolution, and of the development of Lucasian rational expectations. Maurice was much more impressed by the new contributions of the rational expectations school than he was of those by the more traditional monetarists.
