What Will Be The New Economic Paradigm?

Angry Bear Blog

Matt Yglesias has a great post over at Moneybox (paragraph breaks added):
… The Depression discredited the gold standard and a whole set of related notions.
The Great Inflation discredited ideas about the Phillips Curve …
We had, until recently, the Great Moderation Consensus that … the Federal Reserve has the ability to stabilize the macroeconomy by fiddling with interest rates.
Well now here we are and the Federal Reserve can’t stabilize the macroeconomy by fiddling with interest rates.
That calls for the creation of a new regime.
