Abstract
In this paper I will outline the historical development of Keynesian macroeconomics and add a few remarks. My version of the story will agree with textbook accounts in some ways, and differ fairly sharply in others. Very few references will be provided in support of assertions both because space is limited and because my version is something of a “stylized history of thought.” The hope is that it will be, like carefully selected “stylized facts,” analytically illuminating although lacking in detail.
