tailieunhanh - The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money

From one of the most influential economists of the modern era, Keynes and his "General Theory" shaped economic thought and government policies for decades to come. Out of this magnum opus arose the Keynesian school of economics. Keynes argues that the level of employment in a modern economy was determined by three factors: the marginal propensity to consume (income that people chose to spend on goods and services), the marginal efficiency of capital (the rate used to see whether investments are worthy) and the rate of interest. This work has enormous implications to the present day in understanding the policies. | The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money by John Maynard Keynes The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money John Maynard Keynes Table of Contents PREFACE PREFACE TO THE GERMAN EDITION PREFACE TO THE JAPANESE EDITION PREFACE TO THE FRENCH EDITION Book I Introduction 1.
