CAPITAL-BASED
MACROECONOMICS
These PowerPoint shows
(below left) represent three successive versions of capital-based analytics.
The original show was created in early 1999, when the end of the credit-driven
boom was not yet in sight and when Bill Clinton had almost two years left
of his second term.
Consistent with the Mises-Hayek theory of the business cycle, the graphical
analytics demonstrate the inevitability--but not the timing--of the subsequent
bust. Part V of the original show depicts Bill Clinton still in office
when the bust comes.
In 2003 I created a second edition of the show, mainly to add some pedagogical
features in the early sections and additional explanatory text throughout.
I also made changes in Part V to reflect the fact that George W.
Bush was in office when the downturn came.
In 2006 I created a third edition---a total remake of the show using the
2003 PowerPoint software.
I also created a second show to contrast the Keynesian and Hayekian frameworks.
