If you found John Cassidy's New Yorker article on Keynes--The Demand Doctor--enlightening and/or provocative, you will likely appreciate his interview on WNYC's The Leonard Lopate Show. The interview prompted Cassidy to further consider whether there have been any important economic "big ideas" in recent years. Cassidy's answer to Lopate's question about big ideas was simply "no" (near the end of the interview). He had time to give the question more thought after the interview, and wrote a longer response online (spoiler alert, the answer is still "no).
Here is the interview from WNYC:
