Are you a Classical or Keynesian economist? Pick a perspective and defend. I will admit that I am a bit of a Classical economist that believes the Keynesian model has a place as well. I do not believe that I can commit to one side fully, over the other, but if I must I would side with the Keynesian model. It seems to me they both have a place in the understanding of economics, one more in the short run and the other in the long run. The Keynesian economists believe that the economy is not always at full employment and can be either below or above its potential, this is a big point of emphasis in my opinion. Seeing first hand some of the impacts of the recession in 2008 helped me to understand this perspective and side with Keynesian over the Classical. I believe that while the Classical model gauges the economy correctly in the long run, with its assessment that the economy will sort itself out without government interference in a recession for example, but it does not account for situations in the short run. It may be true that eventually the economy will return to normal following a recession, but often I believe citizens do not have the ability or resources to wait for the self-correction of the economy and need immediate assistance. After reading this post, do you agree or disagree? why?
