Inflation is at a much higher starting point in Norway than in Switzerland, leaving the Norges Bank much less room to manoeuvre than the SNB in the event of upside surprises to import prices or stronge

Since at least the time of Keynes, investment and saving have been at the heart of macroeconomic modelling, and this is true of neo-classical and other heterodox modelling, not just

To give an example of how this could work, I would like to take Norway as an example, though as will be seen later this is not quite a reasonable choice. Norway is of course very rich. Not only does it have a very well

Unlike static equilibria, dynamic equilibria can have multiple points of stability. The point of equilibrium that is reached depends on

To many the above will seem ridiculously naïve, but the example of Norway given previously shows that the numbers can add up, and a three day week is feasible. As long as enough capital is available.
