A economia política de John Maynard Keynes: de Versalhes à Grande Depressão

Abstract

This article aims to analyze, throughout the historical period beginning immediately after World War I and ending with the outbreak of the Great Depression, Keynes's position regarding his economic considerations, always made with the intention of having some impact on the political sphere. Thus, we begin with the Treaty of Versailles, move on to the discussion of the return to the gold standard, and conclude by addressing the Great Depression, a period with which the usual interpretation of Keynes as the author of the General Theory that is, a theorist of the economics of depression is identified.
