Titre La structure logique de la Théorie générale de Keynes
Auteur Carlo Benetti
Mir@bel Revue Cahiers d'économie politique
Numéro no 30-31, pintemps 1998 Keynes : économie et philosophie
Page 11-48
Résumé anglais In this paper we study the construction of Keynes' theory, conceived as a structure composed by three general and basic models, which are deduced ones from the others. We show that Say's law as criticized by Keynes can be formalized by means of a « recursive supply » model. Keynes' criticism leads to a different model, a « non-walrasian and general interdepedence » one, which does not allow to criticize the adjustement to a full employment equilibrium. It is used by Keynes as a basic model from which, in a third stage, he obtains the keynesian model, defined as the model which admits at least one involuntary unemployment equilibrium with flexibility of wages and prices. We conclude that the construction of Keynes' theory is logically coherent and we show the limitations of his theoretical « heresy ».
