Keynes details his departure from traditional classical economic thought, emphasizing the insufficiency of existing theories to explain persistent unemployment. He introduces new concepts, such as the multiplier and the marginal efficiency of capital, to explain the determination of income, output, and employment. The text also examines the role of money, liquidity preference, and expectations in shaping economic behavior.
