Soroden komentar mojemu današnjemu članku v Financah, v katerem Simon Wren-Lewis (Oxford) opisuje preslišane lekcije Velike depresije iz 1930. let, in sicer: (1) opustitev zlatega standarda (devalvacija valute) ter (2) fiskalno stimuliranje gospodarstva. Ter seveda, da so v času premajhnega agregatnega povpraševanja strukturne reforme in višina javnega dolga brezpredmetni.
The Eurozone is currently suffering from a chronic lack of aggregate demand. The OECD estimates an output gap of nearly -3.5% in 2013. Monetary policy is either unable or unwilling to do much about this, so fiscal stimulus is required. This is the first lesson from the Great Depression that is being ignored. Instead of stimulus we have austerity imposed by the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP).
