Keynesianism on Economic Policies - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 57 Economic policy/Keynesianism: Keynesianism interprets the observed negative correlation between the unemployment rate and the rate of inflation in such a way that economic policy could buy low unemployment at the price of high inflation, on the theoretical basis of Keynes' stated downward rigidity of nominal wages: if real wages are too high and there is therefore unemployment, but a reduction in nominal wages is excluded, then real wages can only be reduced to a level compatible with full employment by raising the price level, i.e. by pursuing an expansive monetary policy. >Economic cycle, >Government debt, >Taxation, >Monetary policy, >Macroeconomics, >Money supply._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
