Fiscal austerity is a view mainly favoured by the conservative party who is
currently implementing reforms in order to reduce the deficit and consequently the UK's huge debt! It is a view that is also shared by those who follow Friedrich Hayeks teachings which although has many similarities to keynesians ideas in the sense that they both wanted to sort out unemployment and the other macroeconomic objectives had a major difference in the way that they wanted to get the economy back to its better phases.
