Abstract

This article analyzes the limitations of explication and solution offered by Keynes, in respect to the capitalistic economic crisis, in the light of Marx’s ideas. Firstly, it discusses why Keynes even apprehending the capitalism crisis vocation, operating in “laissez-faire” conditions, does not understand its causes, immanent to the development of the capitalistic production relations. It also attempts to show that only in a non-time related perspective, the Keynesian solution would be able to attenuate the contradictions inherent to capitalism and to resolve the problems from its crisis. Finally, it develops new ideas in an attempt to present as sufficiently steady the affirmation that, in the middle and long run the keynesians “remedies” tend to aggravate the contradictions which caused the crisis and create news problems, inconsistent with capitalistic interests.
