Abstract
The General Theory contains a very simple model of a closed economy albeit with some very subtle and not well-understood assumptions and variables. The paper identifies a short list of research topics that emerged from this model and links those topics to specific individuals who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for their work on one or more of those topics.
