In 'Macroeconomics and the Phillips curve myth' OUP 2014 he argued that there was nothing original about the idea of a negative relation between wage change and unemployment in 1958; almost no one thought Phillips' paper suggested the desirability of inflation; and the 'expectations argument' - supposedly an invention of the late 1960s - was well known all through the 1950s. |
