Biography

Lindauer is an American economist and author.

Among his early articles and books, published in the 1960s while Associate Professor and Professor of Economics at Claremont, are "Land Taxation and Indian economic development" (with Sarjit Singh) and various editions of "Macroeconomics" which were translated into Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Urdu, Hindi, Portuguese and Spanish.

He has been a visiting professor at the University of California (SD), Sussex University and Punjab University.

Lindauer is most known for his groundbreaking 1960s integration of aggregate supply with aggregate demand and his use of that integration to present and analyze various new theories and explanations of inflation and unemployment, and the policies that are needed to combat them in the United States and countries with similar institutions.

In essence Lindauer presented the first viable alternatives to the then (and still) prevailing attempts by the American academic community to explain and analyze the macroeconomic problems and policies of the United States in terms of the unique institutions of Keynes’ United Kingdom.

For example, he explained why efforts to fight inflation and unemployment in the United States with monetary and fiscal policies appropriate for the United Kingdom might make the general level of prices and unemployment worse instead of better in the United States and economies with similar central banks and fiscal policymaking structures.

More specifically, Lindauer’s 1960s analysis explains today’s unemployment and governmental deficits in the United States and the failure of its monetary and fiscal policies. In so doing, it explains the reasons why many of the current worldwide efforts to reduce governmental deficits will inevitably make them worse and constrain growth and employment.

Lindauer's most recent work is "The General Theories of Inflation, Unemployment and Government Deficits" (2013).

His favorite quote is “General theories and policies that cannot explain or cope with specific events are not general theories and policies and must be either discarded or improved.”
