Over a long time, for the last four decades
I feel vindicated, and amply rewarded,
Greatly honored by the Lord,of Universe
My admiration for Keynes,
My measured aggression in
Glorifying Keynesian economics,
When mainstream macro and monetary economics
Was led by Lucas and company
Discreditinig Keynesians , calling them as tellers of fairy tales
Treating it as a matter of
No consequence or significance in policy domain
Classroom on both theoretical and practical planes,
As if it is devoid of all substance and content
Like an illiterate devotee,
Getting blessed by the Lord
For his hard work and good behavior,
Or an affectionate mother handled well by her Son
All my ignorance in econometrics and quantitative tools
And my critical inability to handle
Mathematically, by sheer lack of training,
Have all proved to be a great
Blessing in disguise,
For not getting infected/ affected
By economics rooted in mathematics/Rational expectation scholars.
