In the beginning of the 1980's a Keynesian reaction
against the New Classical hegemony took place. This
paper examines the motives for that reaction and the
characteristics of the method adopted by the New
Keynesians. The main objective of New Keynesianism is to provide microfoundations for Keynesian
macroeconomics. In order to do so, New Keynesians
adapted microeconomics to macroeconomics and not the other way around as the New Classical School. The perception that general equilibrium is a method and not a theory, allowed New Keynesians to reconcile microeconomics and macroeconomics and to determine that Walrasian general equilibrium is only a particular case of the broader concept of general equilibrium. In this way, general equilibrium models that departure from the competitive equilibrium is at the core of New Keynesian theory.
