Resumen
Este artigo discute as raÌzes teÛricas e a base empÌrica do chamado diagnÛstico keynesianoestruturalista sobre a insustentabilidade das atuais polÌticas macroeconÙmicas dos Estados Unidos, associado aos nomes de Wynne Godley, Lance Taylor e John Eatwell, dentre outros. O artigo contrasta o referido diagnÛstico com visıes alternativas e argumenta que a posiÁ„o keynesianoestruturalista parece mais plausÌvel do que nunca a esse ponto.
Abstract
This paper reviews the theoretical roots and empirical basis of the so-called ìStructuralistKeynesianî view on the unsustainability of current U.S. macroeconomic policies, associated with the names of Wynne Godley, Lance Taylor and John Eatwell, among others. It contrasts it with other views on the issue and argues that the case for the Structuralist-Keynesian view remains as strong as ever.
