So the sophisticated textbook story goes only part of the way toward real business cycle theory. It allows for a short-term response to fiscal policy, in the conventional direction. But it shares the strong equilibrium orientation, with a slightly more reasonable account of the nature of equilibrium. I do not think one can dismiss this account as simply implausible; but I think there are grounds for being quite sceptical about this model as a guide to macroeconomic policy. I mention three reasons.

In general an automatic stabilizer is thus an already established public-policy mechanism that tends to offset autonomous (and perhaps other) changes in aggregate demand in either direction. (One could discuss the merits of automatic stabilizers Robert M. ) The main points I want to make have their origin in the US experience. I apologize for being so provincial in this respect, but it is in a sense unavoidable. One of those points is that the extent of automatic stabilization in a national or regional economy emerges more or less inadvertently from decisions made in the allocation and distribution branches of the public-policy apparatus.
