In this 56-minute talk, Jeffrey Herbener dissects and dismantles two central myths behind Keynesian doctrine: the Phillips Curve, a the Keynesian Multiplier. Presented at the Keynes and Keynesianism Conference, Sponsored by the Mises Institute and held in Harvard Square, Massachusetts; April 28-29, 1989.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
