Economists are now taking seriously the idea of cognitive limits and lapses which may undermine economic rationality and cause markets to fail.
Krugman has argued that ‘Keynesian’ macroeconomics more than anything else “made economics the model-oriented field it has become.” In Krugman’s eyes, Keynes was a “pretty klutzy modeler,” and it was only thanks to Samuelson’s famous degree diagram and Hicks’s IS-LM that things got into place. In economics, government debt is considered unsustainable when the interest paid on debt (‘r’) exceeds economic growth (‘g’): r > g. PZIRP is an attempt to deal with this potential problem by suppressing r permanently, and it has been observed that countries with very high debt levels will tend to be forced to adopt this policy.
