Explain and illustrate how these latest manifestations of two diametrically opposed positions, the New Classical rational expectations model and the new Keynesian model: (1) remain true to their respective Classical and Keynesian roots about the inherent stability of the macro economy and the effectiveness of demand management; and (2) at the same time altered the traditional Classical and traditional Keynesian analysis.
