These measures caused the monetary base to increase from approximately $850 billion to over $4 trillion. What would an economist from each of the following viewpoints-classical, Keynesian, monetar- ist, real business cycle, Great Moderation consensus, and secular stagnationists-predict about the effect of these policies, and why? Indicate whether each school would support the Fed's actions.
