Abstract:
This paper is an endeavour to shed some light to the gaps and contradictions in the Theory that Keynes put forward. The Theory, far from being revolutionary, reiterated the neo-classical views on a number of issues, portrayed a distinct lack of an analysis of phenomena of profound significance such as Credit and put overwhelming emphasis on the rate of interest. Based on such a singularity, Keynes, using one Theory (that of the rate of interest), attempted to explain, both the rate of interest as well as profit, the driving force in capitalism. As a consequence, a great deal between the two was missing.
