It's not appropriate to associate Robert Lucas Jr too closely with Libertarianism or any other ideology.

Why not?

Macroeconomics in analogy to microeconomics, not by aggregation of microeconomis. This error has been re-inserted here again, and it is a widely shared mistake. Lucas is quite clear that he does not think that aggregation is possible but insists nevertheless to apply standard microeconomic conceptions. (See his critique paper.) Please don't insert wrong statements to replace correct ones without checking first. Thanks.
