Keynes
John Maynard (1883-1946)
|
British
economist who founded a huge movement, which had a worldwide impact. He
wanted the State to intervene in the economy contrary to the classical economists
who are against the Welfare State.He developed a theory called " Keynesian
Multiplicator ":For Keynes, the state interference proves out to be necessary
to take out the economy of the underemployment and the crisis. That's why
it belongs to the State to throw back the demand, increasing the public
expenses and decreasing taxes. This increase of the public expenses throws back the economic activity by the increase of incomes that drags (entraîner) a rise of the purchase power and therefore of the consumption. Firms invest further. Consequently, the demand increases and creates the increase of production. If the production increases, employment then increases. It is the encircle of " Keynesian Multiplicator "which continues. |
