Article Abstract:

John Maynard Keynes' work was a guiding macroeconomic principle in the early 1960s, but has reached its demise due to a change in methodology. New Classical Critics' neutrality propositions on economic players' behavioral norms are discussed, justifying the methodological change that overturns Keynesian economics.
