No, but ISLM provides a good language for the _start_ of a discussion,
since almost every macroeconomist knows it. For example, Paul Davidson, a
well-known anti-ISLMicist, uses IS-LM in his paper on the finance demand
Yoshie- I would say Miyabe's book gives a very different view of consumer credit
in Japan than what you put forward. It does argue that there are a group of
people who do not go for credit cards, but this is not due to their
unavailability, etc. I will try to type a few paragraphs in later. Some
