Colander: What's your view of the New Keynesian approach?
Tobin: I'm not sure what that means. If it means people like Greg Mankiw, I don't regard them as Keynesians. I don't think they have involuntary unemployment or absence of market clearing. It is a misnomer to call Mankiw any form of Keynesian.
Colander: How about real-business-cycle theorists?
Tobin: Well, that's just the enemy. (David Colander)
