Abstract: This paper aims at analysing the role of uncertainty in Keynes theory of involuntary unemployment. This concept has no role in the model of Keynes resulting from the neoclassic synthesis: a result of unvoluntary unemployment equilibrium is obtained as to the violation of Walras law. Section 1 shows the gap between Keynes analysis of unemployment and Glustoff's model. It concerns the question of wage flexibility. Section 2 tries to underline that uncertainty has actually a role in the relationship between wage and employment.
