In sum, New Keynesian models are most certainly not reincarnations of textbook IS–LM models with maximization added on.

Sargent on history as written by the late switchers, saying I thought of that too; said so in a footnote, in a seminar or as an aside. But Sargent was at Berkeley, knowing who is against everything he, Lucas and others said
