    Can anyone recommend a good paper/vid/resource which examines the economic impact of the Corona Virus within a Keynesian framework?

    In the Keynesian world a sharp economic downturn like C19 demands government intervention... but how are we doing here in the USA? How does this compare with approaches of other governments?

    @longandshort from article 2 in pub 1 of ur course, "What is Keynesian Economics?"

  2. There really isn't a "Keynsian world" of economic thought lol. Modern day macroeconomics incorporates the insights of Keynes and all the other major economists/schools of thought that hold up. Here is a good primer on the basic tenants of "new neoclassical synthesis" New neoclassical synthesis - Wikipedia.

    A good example of policy within new neoclassical synthesis is this OECD report on recommended responses to Covid-19: Government support and the COVID-19 pandemic (oecd.org)

    Here are some good resources on how countries have responded to COVID:

    You get Covid is a Hoax to bring in the New World Order / Great Reset / Agenda 2030 ( all countries have signed up to, Green NWO ).
