Abstract

Are the causes of the current crisis financial causes or real causes? The question is pointless, since in the structure of a capitalist economy – of a monetary economy of production – the real elements and the monetary and financial elements are closely intertwined. This is why the capitalist equilibrium ein Zufall ist, according to Marx; it can only exist, according to Keynes, by accident or design. How can we get over the economic and social consequences of the crisis? The only way out is Keynes’s «Social Philosophy towards which the General Theory might Lead», but this way is politically banned
