• the ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back…the ideas which civil servants and politicians and even agitators apply to current events are not likely to be the newest. But, soon or late, it is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil. John Maynard Keynes, General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1936)
• In the short-run, it is true, ideas are unimportant and ineffective, but in the long-run they can rule the world.Lionell Robbins, The Great Depression (1934).

– Friedman: Avoid monetary mischief“Freshwater” dominance: Rat-X/Efficient Markets
– Lucas: confusion recession– Prescott: supply shocks intertemporal substitution recession
“Saltwater” acquiescence: Rat-X with frictions– New Keynesian models/Monetarist policies
Housing bubble: end of Great Moderation– Behavioral finance/return of Keynes?!?
