Week 13 – Government Budgets

Additional Resources:

Darrick Hamilton is a professor at the my graduate department. He is a BedStuy native who works on revolutionary expansionary policy and talks here about the limits of monetary policy and its interaction with stocks and politics. We didn’t watch in class but I suspect it is of interest to many:

Goodman, A. and J. González. (2020, August 19). “We Will Make Biden Do It: Economist Darrick Hamilton on Pushing the Next Admin to the Left.” DemocracyNow.

Resources from class:

Kelton, Stephanie. (2018, August 20). Interview with Fareed Zakaria. CNN.

Here is the excel file for the worksheet we used in class on Thursday, October 8th. I encourage you to play around with the graph by changing the variable values and hitting tab to see the C, AD values and the graph lines change.
