Thesis (D.A.)--George Mason University, 2007.

This study tracks changes in the textbook Keynesian model in the best-selling principles-of-economics textbook in the United States, McConnell & Brue, and compares it with the profession's textbook of record, Samuelson & Nordhaus. One major and two minor themes present themselves from the analysis: (a) Despite the forces of inertia and other factors that affect textbook composition, the principles textbook is a surprisingly accurate reflection of current events and the evolution of ideas in the economics profession, with a lag of 5 to 10 years. Ideas that appeared rapidly were usually the result of widespread public concern and current events. Concepts that took longer to appear tended to be those that did not meet the research and other needs of the mainstream; delays in acceptance also appear due to conflict with the Keynesian paradigm under which the author(s) and reviewers were trained. (b) The widespread adoption of aggregate demand-aggregate supply (AD--AS) analysis has loosened Samuelson's influence on the principles text because it permits direct classroom exposition of the fundamental question in economics: the length of time it takes the economy to self-adjust. (c) The best-selling principles textbook taught our students a 1960s Keynesian approach to deficits and debt. An analysis in the appendix found that the Nobel Prize is a lagging indicator and the Bates Clark award is a leading indicator of the productivity of prominent economists.Subjects--Topical Terms:
