Abstract

Nell'anniversario della pubblicazione della Teoria Generale, gli articoli richiamano i principali elementi del pensiero di Keynes. L'autore sottolinea le principali differenze tra le proposte politiche di Keynes, basate sul controllo della domanda aggregata come mezzo per aumentare la sicurezza economica, e il piano di Beverdige per uno stato sociale universalistico.

On the anniversary of the publication of the General Theory, the articles recalls the main elements of Keynes' thought. The author emphasises the main differences between Keynes' policy proposals, based on the control of aggregate demand as a way to raise economic security, and Beverdige's plan for a universalistic welfare state.
