The Circular Flow and Income-Spending Streams tell us that in the economy, total output must equal total spending. This idea is the basis for all macroeconomic analysis. John Maynard Keynes and his followers (the Keynesians) use this idea, and Milton Friedman and his followers (the Monetarists) do too. However, they come up with very different conclusions regarding the role of government in the economy.
Your assignment is to explain the basic arguments of each school of thought, Keynesian and Monetarist, what each recommends for the proper role of government in the economy, and the basis for those beliefs. What are each side's beliefs or assumptions about the macroeconomy, about equilibrium, and about full employment that lead them to their different conclusions? Also, what are the risks of both approaches to improving the economy? In other words, if we were to use either Monetary or Fiscal policy to stimulate the economy, what are the risks or problems we need to look out for?
HINT: When the Keynesians say “total output = total spending” they write it GDP = C + I + G + Xn. (See chapter 7 - They are focusing on the sources of spending in the economy.) When the Monetarists say “total output = total spending” they write it MV = PY. (See Chapter 13 - They are focusing on the Equation of Exchange.) These are important differences, but you must also explain the thinking behind them.
