Are we all Keynesians again? @RSkidelsky and I think not. Despite bold Covid-related fiscal measures, the most important lessons from Keynes have yet to be learned.

Stay tuned for our @LevyEcon podcast release.

"In a strange way, the initial backlash to our proposals had been so tremendous that everyone knew we had come up with the idea, which meant that we didn’t lose credit for it." -- Isabella Weber on price controls

Before the argument was "real wages are declining and warrant more emphasis on lowering inflation (even if it comes via higher joblessness and lower nominal wages)"

Now the argument might shift to "real wages are rising and that will push up future demand and inflation risk"
