Abstract
The impact of Keynes’s General Theory was felt not only in macroeconomic analysis, in national income accounting and in applied economics, but also in economic doctrine. ‘Keynesianism’ became a distinctive approach to economic affairs. The label was applied both to the conclusions of the General Theory, and to propositions which although not found in the General Theory were felt, often wrongly, to derive from its arguments.
