Abstract

The 1920s and 1930s were years of intensive debate about economic dynamics and stabilisation policies. There was a large variety of explanations of cycles and depressions, and Keynes' General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936) was pitched against them. In 1937, followed three different attempts to provide synthetic expositions of macroeconomic theory that would deal with the Keynesian challenge: Hicks' Mr. Keynes and the "Classics" , Haberler's Prosperity and Depression , and Lundberg's Studies in the Theory of Economic Expansion . This paper compares those 1937 syntheses and contrasts them with the "Neoclassical Synthesis" and the current "New Neoclassical Synthesis".
