Abstract

Despite the radically different policy conclusions that emerge from the New Cambridge model, its structure is very similar to the Keynesian income-expenditure model discussed in the previous chapter. Both schools, for similar reasons, agree that ‘money does not matter’and this aspect is not discussed further (see, for example, Cripps and Fetherston, 1977). The main structural differences between the two models occur over the treatment of private-sector expenditure and the wage-price sector and these are discussed in some detail.
