From the Paper:

"What did the economist John Maynard Keynes really mean when he wrote his seminal text, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money? Like a religious text, General Theory was written and yet has inspired more verbiage upon its supposed core philosophy than exists within the actual pages of the book itself. This text was itself a critique and a query of conventional views of Classical economics. The Classical and the Neo-classical view of economics Keynes was responding to suggested that with perfectly free competition, in the absence of government intervention, the nature of the relationship between wages and labor demand would be quite efficient and simple."
