The Hangover Theory - By Paul Krugman - Slate Magazine:
The many variants of the hangover theory all go something like this: In the beginning, an investment boom gets out of hand. Maybe excessive money creation or reckless bank lending drives it, maybe it is simply a matter of irrational exuberance on the part of entrepreneurs. Whatever the reason, all that investment leads to the creation of too much capacity—of factories that cannot find markets, of office buildings that cannot find tenants. Since construction projects take time to complete, however, the boom can proceed for a while before its unsoundness becomes apparent. Eventually, however, reality strikes—investors go bust and investment spending collapses.

Я чё-то не понимаю или этот Кругман исполняет классический strawman argument - вместо австрийской теории цикла излагает микс из австрийской и марксистской теории "кризиса перепроизводства", а потом критикует уже одну только марксистскую теорию словами, что But let's ask a seemingly silly question: Why should the ups and downs of investment demand lead to ups and downs in the economy as a whole? Потому что словосочетание про excessive money creation как-то по тихому из списка критикуемых утверждений выпали.
Про открытым текстом излагаемое в этой заметке кейнсианство уже другие отметили.
Печаль, однако.
