Keynes’s "Treatise on Money" and the role of the State
Abstract
This paper aims at providing a critical reconstruction of Keynes’s view on the links existing between public spending, interest rate, wages and employment, as formulated in his Treatise on Money. It will be argued that Keynes’s approach leads to a policy prescription which stresses the necessity of direct State intervention in supplying goods and services. This conclusion is derived from a circuitist interpretation of this work.Downloads
