English term or phrase: little progress on policy
Sadly, in view of today’s needs, macroeconomists have made little progress on policy since John Maynard Keynes explained how economies could get stuck in unemployment due to deficient aggregate demand. Some, like Brad DeLong and Paul Krugman, would say that the field has actually regressed.

  -> danke; was mich etwas wundert, ist die hohe Zustimmung zu "auf diesem Gebiet", was sowohl grammatisch - es fehlt das relatum zu "diesem" - wie auch inhaltlich unklar ist; die Wirtschaftspolitik ist ein spez. field und muss daher extra annonciert werden
