  Keynesian economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Maynard Keynes was one of a wave of thinkers who perceived increasing cracks in the assumptions and theories which held sway at that time.
Keynes questioned two of the dominant pillars of economic theory: the need for a solid basis for money, generally a gold standard, and the theory, expressed as Say's Law, which stated that decreases in demand would only cause price declines, rather than affecting real output and employment.
Keynes explained that the level of output and employment in the economy was determined by aggregate demand or effective demand.
