Abstract
It is not an open conflict, and making a list of Nobel laureates that are favourable or against President Obama's economic and fiscal policies is going a bit too far, as there are fine distinctions in their positions and comments. But the new President has divided American economists, and academic economists in particular. Behind the appeals and political line-ups, the crisis has become the occasion for new debates on Keynesian economics and its historical review.
