This document summarizes a lecture on the history and development of macroeconomic theories. It discusses how theories like Keynesian economics were developed in response to economic crises like the Great Depression. It outlines the rise of deregulation and supply-side economics in the late 20th century in response to stagflation. It also discusses ongoing debates between different schools of macroeconomic thought and criticisms of policies like privatization and financialization.
Basic principles underlying both the Classical and the Keynesian schools of thought within Economics.

Economics in One Lesson: Wars, Governments, Price Controls and the Boom-Bust ...Graham Wright
Based on the Henry Hazlitt book, this presentation is an introduction to applied economics. Hazlitt's lesson, to consider what is unseen as well as what is seen, is applied to various situations: broken windows, wars and governments.
The market process for allocating resources is introduced, and the effects of price controls, such as the minimum wage law, on resource allocation is examined.
Finally, the One Lesson and the theory of price controls is applied to the phenomenon of the boom-bust cycle, which is explained as a necessary consequence of government manipulation of interest rates.
Did we all around the globe sit down together and decide to follow Capitalism? Was Capitalism in the same form since beginning than now? In fact, it would be unrealistic to say that we decided to pick Capitalism. We just derived into it. And the concepts, forms and philosophy of Capitalism evolved over time.
.........................
Dr. Alan Greenspan, Lawrence
Summers from Harvard, Austan Goolgbee, US President’s Council of Economic Advisors are few of the thinks tanks attending the gathering (October 2011).
...................
How is then the New of Form of Capitalism going to shape like? If we recollect from the beginning paragraph, we notice, one of the major advantages of Capitalism was conceived to be “Less Control of Government over markets”. The New Capitalism is believed to start changing its current hue from this point.
............................
Why would Formative Capitalism would survive during recession and depressions? And why should we believe that to? The simplest reason is: because the performance of Formative Capitalists
isn’t just countercyclical, skyrocketing during the downturn and then collapsing.

Creating an Islamic Economy requires much more than setting interest to Zero. Within a financial capitalist system currently dominating the world, zero-interest rates will crash the system. They also are strongly contrary to the interests of the financial rentier class, and will be strongly resisted. Many specific and general ideas on how to create a just and equitable Islamic Economy are discussed in this talk , given in Doha Qatar at HBKU on 25th Jan.
Ryan Avent writes that this year's best business books on economics all look back, with various degrees of pessimism on the construction of the post-World War II order, and on its demise. Marc Levinson's An Extraordinary Time chronicles the remarkable growth of the period between 1945 and 1973 -- and suggests the problems that have cropped up in the past 40 years represent a reversion to the mean. Rick Wartzman's The End of Loyalty tracks the breakdown of the social contract between employers and employees through the lens of four major U.S. industrial companies. And Walter Scheidel's The Great Leveler argues that the inequality that characterizes our own time has been present in societies since the beginning of recorded history.
Decolonization of Education: Islamic Perspective - HBKUAsad Zaman
Meeting the intellectual challenge created by Eurocentric knowledge is the central task facing the Muslims. This requires decolonization of education, via a modern day Ghazali Project.
Decolonization of Education: Islamic PerspectiveAsad Zaman
For detailed writeup, see tinyurl.com/AZdeco The talk explains that colonized mindset created by Western education is the biggest problem currently facing the Islamic Civilization. We have no good alternatives available. Western education develops a Eurocentric perspective which glorifies achievements of the West, and erases those of other civilizations, including Islam. We need to develop an alternative which teaches skills essential for the modern world, but within a framework compatible with the Islamic worldview. In particular, our education should show that the Quran, the final revelation of God to mankind, is superior to any knowledge which could possibly be created by human beings
The Ghazali Project: Countering Enlightenment EpistemologyAsad Zaman
Centuries of Religious Wars led Enlightenment Philosophers to seek to build society on secular foundations, to achieve peace. This required an epistemology which would be acceptable to all. This led to the idea of objective knowledge, based on facts and logic, which would be equally acceptable to all. This also led to the exclusion of subjective reality, the heart, the soul and the lived experiences of human beings, as sources of knowledge. This was an enormous error, which has led to knowledge being built on the wrong foundations for the past few centuries. The Ghazali Project is an attempt to counter this mistake, to rebuild human knowledge on sound foundations, and to create an alternative to toxic educational systems currently in use globally.
Teaching Third Generation Islamic EconomicsAsad Zaman
6th Lecture of Workshop on teaching 3rd Gen IE provides nitty gritty details of what we can do in our classrooms subject to the constraints we face. The politics of Knowledge
The Great Transformation from a traditional Christian society to a Capitalist Society in Europe reversed the priorities between market and social relationships. As Polanyi says, society became embedded within markets, rather than the other way around. This has been enormously destructive, and the only hope lies in reversing this transformation. Slides show how we can go about doing this.
Social Theories can only be understood within their historical context. First Generation Islamic Economics was developed as part of the struggles to achieve liberation from colonization. It stressed the superiority of Islamic Economic System over Western economic systems of capitalism, communism, and socialism. Efforts to launch the political revolution required to control the state and create a macro level Islamic Economic system failed. As a result, 2nd Generation Islamic Economists took an evolutionary approach, and sought to modify capitalism in a step-by-step approach, to move towards and Islamic system. However, this approach failed to bear fruits, and disastrous shortcomings of capitalism became obvious to all in the Global Financial Crisis of 2007. This has led to efforts to build 3rd Generation Islamic Economics on the revolutionary foundations of the 1st Generation, while incorporating many lessons of historical experience, as well as many insights from the 2nd Generation.
Challenge & Opportunity for 3rd Gen Islamic Economists (7/7)Asad Zaman
Writeup/Video: bit.ly/cie7gop: The failure of modern Western Economics became obvious for all to see with the Global Financial Crisis. The current state of global economy is a disaster on all fronts - wars, ecocide, destruction of society, reduction of human beings to human resources. In this situation, Islamic Economists have the golden opportunity to provide radically new solutions to problems facing mankind, rooted in the teachings of Islam. No one else has anything close to the knowledge provided by the complete and perfect final message of God to mankind. Slides: bit.ly/SS3GIE7
Pragmatic Objections To Visionary Islamic Economics (6/7)Asad Zaman
{writeup/Video bit.ly/cie6obj} Is Islam Utopian and Impractical? 2nd Gen IE's abandoned the revolutionary ideals of the 1st Generation for pragmatic reasons. They swallowed the idea that modern economics is objective truth, and hence cannot be contested on ideological grounds. They recognized that Western economics focuses on wealth, not humans, but felt that we must first acquire wealth. Only then can we afford to pay attention to human development. Thirdly, they felt the utopian ideals of Islam are out of reach for us in the modern world, and so we must settle for less. These objections are discussed and answered in these slides: bit.ly/SS3GIE6
The Revolutionary Islamic Alternative (5/7)Asad Zaman
{Writeup/Video: bit.ly/cie5ria} Part 5: As an antidote to Capitalist Economics, this post provides four revolutionary teachings of Islam: (1) Instead of pursuing material wealth, we should pursue human development, (2) Power and Wealth is given to us to help the powerless and poor, not to exploit them and pursue luxuries, (3) Society is built on cooperation, not competition, (4) Instead of pursuing pleasure and power, we should seek to serve humanity selflessly, in hope of rewards in the Akhira
Two Puzzles About Islamic Economics (4/7)Asad Zaman
{Writeup/Video: bit.ly/cie4pie} This part discusses two puzzles: (1) Why did Islamic Economics emerge as a distinct subject in the 20th Century? (2) Islamic knowledge is founded upon source materials of Islam. How can a modern subject and approach, not found within intellectual heritage of Islam, claim to be Islamic? The solutions lie is the study of complex and tangled historical origins of the subject
{Writeup/Video: bit.ly/cie3fce} Modern Economics cannot be Islamized because it is fundamentally flawed, beyond the possibility of repair. Four Flaws are discussed in these slides: (1) The idea that European economic models are universally applicable to all societies, (2) A quantitative and mathematical approach to human behavior, (3) The assumption that human welfare is based on material sources, rather than spiritual, psychological, and social. (4) The pretense of objectivity created by concealment of a toxic moral framework within the codeword of "rationality"
Crisis in 2nd Generation Islamic Economics (2/7)Asad Zaman
{Writeup/Video: bit.ly/cie2cri} While the first generation of Islamic Economists saw it as a revolutionary alternative to capitalism, the 2nd generation thought of Islamic Economics as a variant of capitalism. They attempted to "Islamize" capitalism. This is impossible because capitalism is built on foundations of overproduction and overconsumption, and focuses on acquistion of pleasure and wealth in this world. These values are strongly opposed to Islamic ones and the two economic systems cannot be combined. This is why 2nd generation attempts to create Islamic Economics failed, leading to a crisis.
{Writeup/Video: bit.ly/cie1iok} First of Seven sets of slides explains that 2nd Generation Islamic Economics was constructed as an Islamization of Knowledge project: We take Western knowledge of economics, and Islamize it. This project has failed, for reasons to be explained. The 3rd Generation alternative proposed is to reject Western Economics, and replace it by a radically different discipline built on Islamic foundations.
Capitalism is founded on greed, competition, individualism and hedonism. Islam builds societies on foundations of generosity, cooperation, social responsibility, and the struggle for success in the Akhira. Obviously the two are radically different. This talk spells out some of the details of how these differences arose, and what they imply for economics
1450 years ago, the message of Islam changed the course of human history. It transformed ignorant and backward Bedouin into world leaders, and created a civilization which enlightened the world with knowledge for more than a 1000 years. Today, Muslims around the world are again wrapped in ignorance and darkness, but they are looking West for guidance, instead of looking at the Quran. This lecture explains why the last message of God for mankind is just as revolutionary today as it was when it was first revealed. It offers us complete and perfect guidance for our modern problems today.
Imposing Eurocentric Patterns on Islamic SocietiesAsad Zaman
{ writeup: bit.ly/AZiepi }This is part 1 of a talk on "Rebuilding Economics on Islamic Foundations". In this part, we discuss how social sciences are lessons extracted from the historical experiences of European societies. These cannot be generalized to all societies. In particular, Islamic societies are built on frameworks given by the Quran and Sunnah, which are in dramatic conflict with the foundations on which European social sciences are built. This makes it necessary to rebuild the social sciences on foundations provides by Islamic teachings, and on patterns in use for more than a thousand years in Islamic societies.
Talk explains how the social sciences emerged as a replacement for Christianity, and are built on moral foundations in dramatic conflict with Islamic values. We go on to explain how we can develop alternative teaching methodologies within the Islamic world. Agent Based Modeling provides a general purpose tool which we can use to redo standard Economic theory models, and create alternatives.
Origins of Modern Money: Insufficiency of GoldAsad Zaman
This is part of a series of lectures on Islamic Economics - for the full set, see: bit.ly/IslamicEcon2023. This lecture explains the origins of the modern monetary system in 18th Century England. Gold was insufficient for the rapidly increasing needs of commercial and industrial activity. As a result, credit money, only partially backed by Gold, was created. This proved extremely useful tool to finance the industrial revolution, as well as wars. It also led to shift in emphasis from gold as money to commercial activity as the backing and basis for money. This lecture provides many details about theory of money which are not available at all in conventional economics courses.
how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.

This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.

Exploring Abhay Bhutada’s Views After Poonawalla Fincorp’s Collaboration With...beulahfernandes8

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

What problem was it
designed to solve?
What happened
when theory was
applied to solve the
problem?
SOCIAL SCIENCE:
Theories are like
scientific laws.
Universal Invariants.
Who invented the
theory and When
and Why DOES NOT
MATTER
4. Your Vote? Science or Humanities?
What does Harvard University have to say?
SOCIAL SCIENCE: Application of SCIENTIFIC
METHOD to study of human beings and
societies.
QUANTITATIVE METHODS – MEASURE
everything.
Mathematical Laws of Motion for Humans &
Societies.
5. The Battle of Methodologies:
Historical/Qualitative
Must look at historical
context to understand
theory.
Math/Physics Laws
History is UNIQUE –
impossible to learn any
laws.
6. Science Won – Truth Lost !!!
Since 1890’s STEADY DECLINE in

WHY? WRONG method being used to try and
understand economic events.
THERE are economic LAWS – Supply &
Demand.
LAWS of consumer behavior.

8. First Crisis: Great Depression 1929
GD took Economists by COMPLETE SURPRISE
Irving Fisher: “There may be a recession in stock
prices, but not anything in the nature of a crash.”
Julius Barnes: “The spring of 1930 marks the end of
a period of grave concern. American business is
steadily coming back to a normal level of
prosperity.”
9. BIG PUZZLE – Still Unsolved
WHY did GD Happen?
Economy was ROARING along – Full Employment.
Massive Production of Everything. Everyone Happy.
SUDDENLY – factories close, 20% unemployment, stock
market crashes, banks collapse. Life Savings Destroyed.
Complete Misery.
WHY ???? – Stock Market Crash Banking Collapse
Productive Capacity is there, Labor is there, no war, no
destruction.
10. KEYNESIAN (MACRO)ECONOMICS:
INVENTED TO SOLVE GD PUZZLE
CLASSICAL ECONOMICS: UNEMPLOYMENT
cannot happen. SELF-REGULATING Economy
WHY? LAW of Supply & Demand.
Wages will fall to restore full employment.
11. PUZZLE: Do Wages Fall?
One thousand applicants for FOUR positions at
IIUI.
Similar situations all over Pakistan.
WHY dont wages fall to eliminate
unemployments?
CONVENTIONAL ECONOMIC THEORY is incapable
of dealing with the MOST IMPORTANT
ECONOMIC PROBLEM: Unemployment.
12. Banking Crisis Regulation
Glass-Steagall Act
Maximum Interest Rate
Federal Deposit Insurance
Restriction to ONE state operation.
RESULT: Very few banking failures until 1980’s.
13. Wrong Theories Huge Impact
In Mundell’s (2000)
assessment, ‘had the
major central banks
pursued policies of price
stability instead of
adhering to the gold
standard, there would
have been no great
Depression, no Nazi
revolution, and no World
War II’.
14. Keynesian Solution: Macroeconomics
Problem: SHORTFALL in EFFECTIVE DEMAND
SOLUTION 1: MONETARY POLICY – Increase money
supply, people have more money, will spend
DEMAND
Possible Problem: LIQUIDITY TRAP. No one wants to
borrow money, even at ZERO interest rate.
SOLUTION 2: FISCAL POLICY: Government engages
directly in investment and public works. CREATES
Demand.
15. Battle of Ideologies
Free Markets
Key Proponents: Hayek,
Friedman
Minimize Government
Privatization
Liberalization
De-Regulation
No interference with free
markets
Regulation
Fiscal Policy, Monetary
Policy
Employment Policy
Social Welfare
Trade Unions
Regulations on Monopoly
Incentives for Industry &
Exports

The Rise and Fall of the Market Economy
Current Crisis in Economic Theory
Capitalism in Crisis
17. Keynes rules – post WW2
Low AD Unemployment – High AD
Inflation
Phillips Curve.
Stable, Sound Economies, Prosperity
50-70
Klein: Chicago School – waiting for a
crisis. Monetarists versus Keynesians.
18. The Keynesian World
Low Agg.
Demand
Low production
Excess Capacity
UNEMPLOYMENT
High Agg.
Demand
Production at
maximum capacity
Full Employment
INFLATION
19. Keynesian Quarter Century 48-73
TOBIN: All advanced
democratic capitalist societies
adopted Keynesian strategies
of demand management after
World War Two.
Unparalleled prosperity,
growth, expansion of world
trade, and stability. During
this ‘Golden Age’ inflation
and unemployment were low,
the business cycle was tamed.
Britain and other Western
countries had full
employment for a quarter of a
century after the war because
their governments were
committed to full
employment, and knew how
to secure it; and they knew
how to secure it because
Keynes had told them how
21. "ONLY A CRISIS-ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED-PRODUCES
REAL CHANGE. WHEN THAT CRISIS
OCCURS, THE ACTIONS THAT ARE TAKEN
DEPEND ON THE IDEAS THAT ARE LYING
AROUND.
That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives
to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the
politically impossible becomes politically inevitable.
Milton Friedman -- Preface to Capitalism & Freedom 1962.
22. Preparing IDEAS for Crisis:
Great Depresson: A Monetary History of US
Inflation/Employment Tradeoff: Natural Rate of
Unemployment.
Fiscal Policy: CROWDING OUT Hypothesis.
Monetary Policy: Rational Expectations.
24. Oil Crisis & rejection of Keynes
Stagflation – IMPOSSIBLE according to Keynes.
NEW SOLUTION: SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS
Rise of Reagan & Thatcher
New Respectability of Hayek, Friedman and
Chicago School
POST KEYNESIAN CONFUSION: SEVEN
SCHOOLS OF MACROECONOMIC THOUGHT
25. Reagan DE-REGULATES S & L
DISASTER FOLLOWS
S&L make huge gambles with others money
Losses of around $80 BILLION
MORE THAN ENTIRE EARNINGS OF BANKING
INDUSTRY FOR PAST FIFTY YEARS
GOVERNMENT BAILOUT – LOOTERS PROFIT,
PUBLIC LOSES.
26. Margaret Thatcher: Iron Lady
Busted Labor Unions – Especially Coal Miners
Subsidies and Tax Breaks for the Rich.
Massive increase in Unemployment.
Reduction in Social Welfare.
De-Regulation of Finance Industry.
RESULTS: Concentration of Wealth, Increase in Poverty.

28. Fall of Russia &
Washington Consensus
Privatize, Liberalize, De-Regulate
Let free markets work their magic
Complete Catastrophe in Chile, Russia
NAOMI KLEIN: THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, Rise of
Disaster Capitalism.
Originator of Washington Consensus admits to
failure
World Bank Admits to Failure.
29. Megatrends: Financialization
Massive shift of resources from real sector to financial
sector.
Wall St. Rookies earn million dollar salaries by playing
with pieces of paper and conning prospective buyers into
get rich quick schemes.
No relation between earnings and Value
Added/Productivity.
30. Megatrends: Neo-Colonialism
Mossadegh of Iran
Salvador Allende of Chile
Long list of popular leaders deposed by coups
and replaced by Leaders favoring
multinationals.
Debt Model: Debt pays salaries of leaders, who
do tax farming for multinationals.
Good governance – free currency exchange –
no regulations – privatizations – all favor MNC

32. The Battle of Ideas Perspective
1776: Britain has 50 year lead in
Industrialization
Theories of FREE TRADE & FREE
MARKETS emerge in England
Adopted Everywhere
Disaster for the Colonies, Depression in
Europe
33. Protection in USA & Europe NOT
in Ottoman, India, China, Japan
Alexander Hamilton: 1755 – 1804
Friedrich List == 1789 to 1846.
NO Protection in India – Industries destroyed.
Opium Wars: 1839-42, 1856-1860 – Free Trade in China
Opening of Japan: 1852-56
Capitulations of Ottoman Empire 1830 – 1870.
34. Selling FREEDOM
Freedom for Capitalists to make profits.
Freedom for laborer to sell his body/time for wages
No freedom for government to regulate sale of labor –
no minimum wage, health & benefits etc.
No freedom for labor to band together and negotiate
against powerful capital.
No freedom for weak nations to protect their infant
industries, against highly advanced MNC’s.
