Top down or bottom up models….useful thoughts

Rdan

Hat tip to Economist’s View for the post from Top-down versus bottom-up macroeconomics, by Paul De Grauwe, Commentary, Vox EU for starting an interesting conversation on macro that I think is very relevant to the public story we tell ourselves about how our economy works. One key point is the nature of central planning in the private sector by private companies, especially those who drive how things are done. The public and media narrative tend to be quite skewed and limited, depending on the nature of special interest.
