Keynes - Finanspolitik

Du kan finde en hel masse sekundærlitteratur om emnet. At gå hans hovedværk igennem kan blive hårdt og møjsommeligt arbejde i forhold til, hvad du kan få ud af det.

Tak for svaret, jeg har også en masse sekundærlitteratur om Keynes. Jeg ville bare gerne finde en passage i bogen der omhandler stabeliseringspolitikken, og aller bedst et citat som virkelig stiller hans teori klart.

Ja, det er hårdt, jeg har kæmpet med den, men finder bare alt for mange konsekvenser og scenarier, og en masse andet end det jeg leder efter; det er godt nok gået op for mig at Keynes er meget andet end blot kontraktiv - og ekspansiv stabeliseringspolitik.

 Du kan vel i virkeligheden bruge hans kapitel 1 som lyder:

"If the Treasury were to fill old bottles with banknotes, bury them at suitable depths in disused coalmines which are then filled up to the surface with town rubbish, and leave it to private enterprise on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the notes up again (the right to do so being obtained, of course, by tendering for leases of the note-bearing territory), there need be no more unemployment and, with the help of the repercussions, the real income of the community, and its capital wealth also, would probably become a good deal greater than it actually is. It would, indeed, be more sensible to build houses and the like; but if there are political and practical difficulties in the way of this, the above would be better than nothing."

 Jeg har brugt dette citat "The outstanding faults of the economic society in which we live are its failure to provide full employment and its arbitrary and inequitable distribution of wealth and incomes."1 (Keynes, John Maynard. The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money, p. 372, ll. 1-4)

Det kritiserer den daværende dominerende klassiske tænkning, derefter har jeg brugt sekundærlitteratur til at redegøre for hans teori om stabeliseringspolitik. 

Men mange tak for svarende :)
