It is easy, the record shows, for a government to do harm to its domestic economy. iii. Contrary to what economists confidently promised forty years ago, business cycles have not been abolished. iv. They still operate pretty much the way they have been operating for the past 150 years v. But there is not the slightest evidence that any government policy to stimulate the economy has impact, whether that policy be Keynesian, monetarist, supply - side or neoclassical.
