The primary theoretical difference between Classical and Keynesian Theory can be understood as a debate about the existence of'excess capacity' in the macroeconomy. What does it mean to have the economy operating at "full capacity?" What is excess capacity? Which group of economists believe that 'excess capacity' can exist for extended periods of time? Feel free to use the metaphor developed in the powerpoint ( a cup and milk) to explain these ideas if you found it useful.

One practical limitation with Keynesian economics is the challenge of implementing active economic policy quickly. One practical limitation of the Classical or Neoclassical model is that it suggests allowing the economy to self-correct in the long run, but recessions may last a very long time. For each challenge (limitation), discuss how severe you think these problems are? Explain, and provide an example.
