Missing details and conspicuous absences: from the >i>Treatise>/i> to the >i>General Theory>/i>

Antonio Carlos Macedo e Silva

Journal of Post Keynesian Economics, 2008, vol. 31, issue 2, 325-344

Abstract: This paper aims at interpreting some of the many simplifying assumptions adopted by Keynes to explain, in the >i>General Theory>/i>, liquidity preference, interest rate, portfolio decisions, and volume of investment. It is suggested that Keynes emphasized a >i>partial and particular>/i> model that should be understood as part of a wider theory and a much wider view.
