Classical and Keynesian Economics

Classical:

  • Trickle Down Theory 
  • Help the rich first then everyone else
  • In the long run, the economy will balance @ full employment output
  • The Invisible Hand
Keynesian 
  • AD is the key, not AS
  • In the long run, we are dead
  • Leaks cause recessions

  1. Thsnks for the comparison of classical and keynesian economics. However, you excluded some very important points:
    -Savings = investments in classical but not in keynesian.
    -Classical advocates laissez-faire style of governing, but keynesian supports an active government.
    -Prices and wages are flexible downward in classical, but inflexible downward in keynesian.
