Abstract
It has become fashionable in recent years to attempt to identify in the General Theory elements which had independently been discovered by Keynes’ predecessors, and by implication to belittle Keynes’ own contribution and to suggest that the essential “Keynesian revolution”—whatever may be meant by that—could and would have occurred without Keynes. I propose to devote my contribution to this volume to an attempt to assess Keynes’ own part in that revolution.
