Keynes and the Crisis, Then and NowThe profound ongoing crisis has provided an opportunity for a reemergence of the arguments of John Maynard Keynes. “Keynesian” interpretations of the current crisis are numerous. Most of them only formulate what are bland “reformist” visions, aimed at the introduction of minimal alterations to the functioning of the capitalist system in order to make it survive. The article first analyzes the links between Keynes and the economic mainstream of his time ; it then examines the theoretical model of crisis which he has transmitted. In conclusion, it looks at the anti-crisis policies being implemented today, asking the question whether they are or are not “Keynesian”.
