On the Keynesian notion of equilibrium and dynamics
批评新古典一般均衡理论对凯恩斯动态概念的重新解释,主张以《论货币》而非《通论》作为凯恩斯动态分析的基础。
Roy Harrod had always maintained that John Maynard Keynes's Treatise was much more amenable for dynamic analysis than The General Theory. However, in much of the later work on Keynesian dynamics, The General Theory became the foundation. In this paper, the author argues that recent developments in neoclassical general equilibrium theory have the effect of undermining the conventional Keynesian conception of dynamics based on The General Theory and recasting Keynes as a coarse precursor of modern general equilibrium analysis. Opposing this renewed orthodox reinterpretation of Keynes might require a reconsideration of the Treatise as the foundation for an alternative Keynesian dynamics.
