1929 economic crisis, which is generally called as Great Depression, had upset the balance of world economic order. Until the depression, classical liberal economic theories were dominating World order. Classical economics is a supply oriented theory, claiming that whatever the level of supply, it is going to create its own demand in the market. If the free market determines the levels of prices, economy will always be in the situation of full employment. Accordingly
Classical economics emphasises the fact free markets lead to an efficient outcome and are self-regulating. In macroeconomics, classical economics assumes the long run aggregate supply curve is inelastic; therefore any deviation from full employment will only be temporary. The Classical model stresses the importance of limiting government intervention and striving to keep markets free of potential barriers to their efficient operation. Keynesians argue that the economy can be below full capacity
and especially economics, there has been a broad spectrum of how to assess a economy and manage the money supply, price level, inflation, etc. Keynesian, Classical, and Monetarist perspectives have been present through history.

At first glance, it’s tempting to polarize the difference between Classical “laissez-faire” Economics and Keynesian Economics. My immediate thought is that Classical Economics is a conservative model, leave it up to the individual to do what they will and to shun socio-political engagement when it comes to wealth. On the other hand you have the more liberally oriented spend and engage in order to stimulate the economy model. The polarization happens because of the way politics have branded themselves
Classical and Keynesian economic theories translate directly into American politics and fiscal public policy. There are stark contrasts with the Republican’s belief in the classical economic theory and the Democrat’s position to implement fiscal spending based on the Keynesian approach to economic stimulation. This is evident in the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama. The Keynesian approach to influence economic growth has left our country severely in debt without a sound fiscal vision
One of the theorists of the classical liberalism as well as a prominent economist and sociologist of the twentieth century Friedrich August von Hayek in his book “The Road to Serfdom” defined socialism as a road to slavery.

CLASSICALS VS KEYNESIANS VS MONETARISTS VS NEW CLASSICALS CLASSICALS Classical theory was the first modern school of economic thought. It began in 1776 and ended around 1870 with the beginning of neoclassical economics. The classical theory was given by Adam Smith. Classical theory reoriented economics away from individual interests to national interests. Classical economics focuses on the growth in the wealth of nations and promotes policies that create national expansion. The key points/assumptions
Classical Liberalism makes two important promises; to create a state that is free from oppression and give its citizens freedom. The United State has tried to keep true to these principles till this day, but has failed to address the detrimental effects of capitalism in our society.
