Abstract
Keynes was primarily a monetary theorist. The words money, currency or monetary appear in the titles of most of his major volumes in economics. Post Keynesian monetary theory evolves from Keynes’s revolutionary approach to analyzing a money-using economy.
This paper was published in Money in Motion: The Post Keynesian and Circulation Approaches, by G. Deleplace and E. J. Nell (ed.) (London: Macmillan, 1996).
