Chief Economist Erling Røed Larsen proposes a thought experiment: analyzing the current global economic landscape through the lens of John Maynard Keynes’ theories. The article centers on imagining Keynes’ perspective on present-day economic challenges. Larsen suggests considering how the influential British economist would interpret and comment on contemporary issues. The piece doesn’t present Keynes’ actual views, but rather frames an analysis *as if* he were alive to offer them. It implies a need to re-evaluate established economic principles in light of current conditions. The article aims to stimulate discussion about the relevance of Keynesian economics in the 21st century. It’s presented as an exploration of potential insights rather than a definitive answer.
