Tabarrok On The Great Depression

by David R. Hendersonvia EconLog
Thursday, May 25, 2017

Alex Tabarrok narrates a very good video on the Great Depression. It's called "Understanding the Great Depression." In it, he applies an aggregate demand/aggregate supply framework and puts most of what happened in that framework. I have two criticisms, but they shouldn't be interpreted to mean that the video is weak: it's quite good.

Most welcome this as the country's longest economic expansion in 11 years. Don't be fooled by this figure. It is actually a warning sign for Japan’s policymakers. Why? Because the nominal GDP has been shrinking slightly. The gap between growing real GDP and slightly shrinking nominal GDP is, of course, deflation. GDP deflator has declined by 0.6%.

Stanford

The Hoover Institution Press released Rules for International Monetary Stability, which examines rules-based reform of the international monetary system. The book illustrates how, during much of the past decade, monetary policy has deviated from a rules-based approach in much of the world and economic performance and stability has deteriorated, remaining poor today.
