Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

"However, unlike most "saltwater" economists today"

This would not include Krugman, DeLong, Stiglitz, Yves Smith or Thomas, for a start.

I don't really have time to read many more. But really, you can't say "no-one in the mainstream" is saying something that Krugman, co-author of one of the main university manuals, is banging the drums about day and night.

Saying it casually, or publishing work developing a model that does not contain that assumption?

Its been a while since I've read Krugman's work, as opposed to his op-eds ~ I'd thought I would have heard it if he had abandoned New Keynesian economics for some other approach, but I'd be happy to have the citation to a paper where he does so.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
