Abstract: Abstract By the beginning of the 1980s, the triumph of the new classical and real business cycle schools was more or less complete. However led by a group of prominent economists (Akerlof, Blanchard, Stiglitz, Greenwald, Romer, Yellen, etc.) in the mid-1980s, Keynesianism made a strong revival under the new banner of neo- (or new)-Keynesianism. The neo-Keynesians tried to resurrect Keynesianism by placing it on sound micro-foundations. However, the movement seemed to lack a unifying monolithic structure. The task of integrating these different dimensions into a coherent whole was left to be accomplished by the so-called New Consensus Macroeconomics (NCM) that emerged a few years later. This chapter analyses the various aspects of neo-Keynesianism and the NCM in some detail.
