Abstract
The impact on economics of John Maynard Keynes’s The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money of 1936 has been so large as to make it difficult over 65 years later to reconstruct the professional economics stage onto which it entered. While scholarly attention to the work began in different institutions at different times after its publication, by 1950 it would have been difficult to find a college or university whose economics teaching or research programs were uninfluenced by The General Theory.
