this intro page updated / edited 7th July 2012
(the paper probably needs a re-write & update too)
At the beginning of asymptotix, explaining our philosphy here, I said;-
Back in the day; the Monetarist / Keynesian debate, bursting out in the US when Reagan was elected, the Keynesians (e.g. Cowles Commission) could attack monetarists by saying that monetarists had no theory [the monetarists were 'Logical Positivists']. The monetarist response (Chicago School and Berkeley) was that the Keynesians did not understand science and particularly did not understand data.

Bernanke is scheduled to speak at 3 p.m. London time in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Interest rates 'may hit 8pc' in two years
Andrew Lilico, chief economist at the influential Policy Exchange think tank, has warned of an interest rate environment not seen since the 1990s. He said the rise could happen as the recovery beds in and Government measures to stave off a recession lead to an explosion in the money supply.
