Some Cambridge reactions to "The General Theory": David Champernowne and Joan Robinson on full employment

Article Abstract:

The early reactions put forward by Cambridge economists David Champernowne and Joan Robinson to J.M. Keynes's treatment of the labor market in 'The General Theory' are analyzed. Instead of Keynes's taxonomy of voluntary, frictional and involuntary types of unemployment they introduced the notion of 'monetary employment ' and monetary unemployment and of 'critical levels' of employment.
