Keynes and Hayek
John Maynard Keynes was an economist whose ideas have greatly affected the theory and practice of modern macroeconomics, and informed the economic policies of governments. He built on and greatly advanced earlier work on the causes of business cycles, and is widely considered to be one of the founders of modern macroeconomics and the most influential economist of the 20th century. His ideas are the basis for the school of thought known as Keynesian economics, as well as its various offshoots.
Friedrich August Hayek was an economist and philosopher best known for his defense of classical liberalism. In 1974, Hayek shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his "pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and ... penetrating analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena." Hayek is a major economist and political thinker of the twentieth century.

He also contributed to the fields of systems thinking, jurisprudence, neuroscience and the history of ideas.

These are a few arguments they made during the “fight,” but the side being focused on will be F.A Hayek. He believed that recession is bound to happen no matter what happens, messing with
