The Uses and Misuses of Economics in Daily Journalism
受大衰退影响,记者和经济学家正逐渐改变对经济的看法,摆脱过去三十年主流范式,但转变缓慢,多数人仍不愿公开呼吁政府干预。
Prodded by the Great Recession, journalists and economists are gradually altering their views of the economy, freeing themselves from the mainstream paradigm of the last thirty years: that the natural tendency of a market economy caught in a recession is to right itself, returning to full or nearly full employment and healthy growth with a minimum of help from government through public employment, public works projects, or a combination of the two. The evolution is slow, however, making most journalists and economists reluctant to engage in a full-throated appeal for government help.
