The employment function N* = F ( D w * ) Not simply Z w in disguise The macrofoundation of microeconomics Perfect competition a requirement

Keynes on the theory of value “If we suppose the volume of output to be given, i.e. to be determined by forces outside the classical scheme of thought, then there is no objection to be raised against the classical analysis of the manner in which private self-interest will determine what in particular is produced, in what proportions the factors of production will be combined to produce it, and how the value of the final product will be distributed between them.” (GT pp )
