The first 23 chapters of Keynes’s General Theory are, as he says “chiefly addressed to [his] fellow economists…. "If my explanations are right, it is my fellow economists… whom I must first convince. At this stage of the argument the general public, though welcome at the debate, are only eavesdroppers…” In chapter 24, however, Keynes assumes that he has convinced his fellow economists of the truth of his theories and of how to apply them, and sets out all of the good things for society that would follow from their successful application to questions of economic management. What are these good things that Keynes believe will follow? Why does Keynes think they are important? What more does Keynes think there is then left to be done to bring humanity to the shores of utopia? Do you agree with him? If you do, tell us why. If you do not, tell us why not. Please note that the answer should be around 1000 words.
