Editing Keynesian economics (section)

===Keynesianism and liberalism===
In a 2014 paper, economist [[Alan Blinder]] argues that, "for not very good reasons", public opinion in the United States has associated Keynesianism with liberalism, and he states that such is incorrect. For example, both Presidents [[Presidency of Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan (1981–89)]] and [[Presidency of George W. Bush|George W. Bush (2001–09)]] supported policies that were, in fact, Keynesian, even though both men were conservative leaders. And tax cuts can provide highly helpful fiscal stimulus during a recession, just as much as infrastructure spending can. Blinder concludes: "If you are not teaching your students that 'Keynesianism' is neither conservative nor liberal, you should be."<ref name="What Did We Learn from the Financial Crisis [2008], the Great Recession, and the Pathetic Recovery?, Nov. 2014">[https://www.princeton.edu/ceps/workingpapers/243blinder.pdf "What Did We Learn from the Financial Crisis <2008>, the Great Recession, and the Pathetic Recovery?,"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170830004657/http://www.princeton.edu/ceps/workingpapers/243blinder.pdf |date=30 August 2017 }} Alan Blinder (Princeton University), Nov. 2014.</ref>
