2017, Book 14 "Keynes believed that the problem at the heart of a recession was that resources were not fully used as there was not enough demand in the economy. The solution therefore was to intervene to stimulate demand. He said that cutting interest rates and boosting government spending would trigger recovery. Hayek, on the other hand, believed Keynesian policies to support employment would lead to higher inflation."
