Description
The juxtaposition of Kennedy and Reagan approaches to economic problems isparticularly instructive in that they express the two major - and quite different - approaches ofmacroeconomic policy in the past three decades: the 1962 Kennedy Camelot which relied on traditionalKeynesian economics, and the 1982 Reagan program which called for a supplyside solution to thecountry's economic difficulties. From today's vantage point it is useful to compare what these twodifferent groups of economic advisors planned to do, what they did, and what the results were.JamesTobin, who received the Nobel Prize in economics in 1981, is Sterling Professor of Economics atYale. His Essays in Economics, collected in three volumes, are available from The MIT Press. MurrayL. Weidenbaum is Director of the Center for the Study of American Business and MallinckrodtDistinguished University Professor at Washington University.
