Palabras clave:
Economia Política, Grande Moderação, Inflação por conflito distributivoResumen
O presente artigo busca expor e interpretar o quadro macroeconômico observado nos Estados Unidos da América durante a Grande Moderação (especificamente a redução simultânea de inflação e desemprego observada entre as décadas de 1980 e 1990) a partir de uma abordagem pós-keynesiana, crítica à interpretação do Novo Consenso, na qual a redução do poder de barganha dos trabalhadores figura como elemento central na explicação deste desempenho macroeconômico.
