General Theory, Victoria Chick, Keynes, interpretationsAbstract
This article traces Chick’s life-long endeavour to un-twist what had been and is still being twisted in interpreting and putting The General Theory to use. For the sake of simplicity, I have listed a few of the distortions to which Chick, together with others, has drawn attention over the years. The list is not meant to be exhaustive and some of the distortions are interrelated, but I hope that my catalogue captures most of the issues which have been at the centre of the debate and indeed of Chick’s life-long engagement with The General Theory.
