Feldstein ukończył studia ekonomiczne w Harvardzie i Oxfordzie. W 1977 roku otrzymał prestiżową nagrodę Amerykańskiego Towarzystwa Ekonomicznego, przydzielaną co dwa lata młodym ekonomistom, którzy wnieśli duży wkład do nauk ekonomicznych.

Jest pionierem badań dotyczących mechanizmów rozwoju, utrzymania i możliwości upadku współczesnych systemów emerytalnych. Feldstein był zdecydowanym zwolennikiem reformy systemu ubezpieczeń w Stanach Zjednoczonych . W szczególności był główną siłą napędową ustawodawstwa częściowo prywatyzującego ten system .

Znany był także z bardzo krytycznego stosunku do euro. W 1999 roku pisząc o nadchodzącej unii walutowej i wprowadzeniu euro, ostrzegał, że „negatywne skutki ekonomiczne pojedynczej waluty na bezrobocie i inflację w Europie przeważą jakiekolwiek zyski wynikające z ułatwienia w przepływie kapitału”, oraz że chociaż „wspólna waluta pomyślana jako sposób na zredukowanie ryzyka kolejnej wojny w Europie”, to jednak „jest bardziej prawdopodobne, że wywoła ona skutek odwrotny, prowadząc do zwiększonych konfliktów w samej Europie, a także pomiędzy Europą i USA”.

“The legacy of Keynesian economics”

Help us translate this quote

Martin Feldstein

the misdiagnosis of unemployment, the fear of saving, and the unjustified faith in government intervention — affected the fundamental ideas of policy makers for a generation and altered such basic institutions of our economy as the tax laws, the social insurance programs and the financial system. Changing these deeply ingrained aspects of economic life can happen only slowly. But the economics profession has undoubtedly begun to re-examine and re-evaluate the Keynesian notions that have been so dominant for the past 35 years. There is a return to older and more basic economic truths and an attempt to adapt these ideas to the changing conditions of technology and affluence. From this is emerging a new view of unemployment, of saving, and of the role of government.

“A critical feature of the EU(European Union) in general and EMU in particular is that there is no legitimate way for a member to withdraw… The American experience with the secession of the South may contain some lessons about the danger of a treaty or constitution that has no exits.”

“Instead of increasing intra-European harmony and global peace, the shift to EMU and the political integration that would follow it would be more likely to lead to increased conflicts within Europe.”

“But further analysis and experience soon raised doubts about the efficacy of these new tools. Empirical research indicated that the Keynesian multiplier was much smaller than earlier analyses had assumed, reduced by a crowding out of interest-sensitive spending caused by an induced increase in the demand for money and by the effect of the larger national debt on long-term interest rates. The leakage of demand through imports and the effect of the fiscal expansion on the exchange rate further reduced the multiplier.”

"Rethinking the Role of Fiscal Policy" (2009).

“Although 50 years of European peace since the end of World War II may augur well for the future, it must be remembered that there were also more than 50 year of peace between the Congress of Vienna and the Franco-Prussian War. Moreover, contrary to the hopes and assumptions of Jean Monnet and other advocates of European integration, the devastating American Civil War shows that a formal political union is no guarantee against an intra-European war.”

“What is clear is that a French aspiration for equality and a German expectation of hegemony are not consistent.”

“Unfortunately, several decades of Keynesian instruction on the virtues of budget deficits have left the public and our political leaders confused about the costs of running persistent deficits. […] Keynes has been that influential defunct scribbler for the past generation. But who would ever have thought that the politician hearing Keynes's voice in the air might be Ronald Reagan”

"Counterrevolution in Progress", Challenge (1988).

“The economic policy issues that we debate today—trade policy, inflation, the proper role of government, the eradication of poverty, and the means of raising the rate of economic growth—have been discussed by economists for more than two centuries. Many of today’s economic policies—both the good ones and the bad—are the result of the ideas of those past economists. And many of today’s debates about economic policy can be understood only by those who have at least some familiarity with the ideas of earlier economists.
The giants of economic science during the past two hundred years have been men concerned with the critical policy issues of their time. They studied the working of the economy in order to advocate better economic policies. But despite their concern with policy, they were not polemicists or politicians but men who sought to persuade their contemporaries in government and in the broader public by analysis and evidence that would meet the standards of professional debate.”

Martin Feldstein (1989), Foreword to New Ideas from Dead Economists by Todd Buchholz.

“Thanks to the work of John Maynard Keynes and of Milton Friedman, we now have a better understanding of how governments can (at least in principle) reduce the severity of major economic downturns. Keynesian economics taught us that government spending can raise GDP and reduce unemployment.”
